Environmental Research Seminar: “A Double Hit to Health: Mixture Effects of Early- Life Heavy Metal and Psychosocial Exposures on Health Outcomes”

With Sara Stein, PhD (Research Assistant Professor, Health Behavior & Health Equity, University of Michigan School of Public Health; M-LEEaD Scientist)

As a clinical scientist, Dr. Stein examines the transmission of the effects of trauma from mother to child prenatally, postnatally, and when women are parenting young children. The goal is to reduce these effects in families by improving interventions for trauma-exposed women as they become parents. Ultimately, Dr. Stein seeks to create treatments that target intergenerational transmission and that are responsive to community needs. She centers her work in understanding how mothers are shaped by the social structures in which they are embedded. The research is grounded in her clinical experience with structurally disadvantaged women with complex trauma histories. Dr. Stein's clinical work as a fully licensed clinical social worker integrates evidence-based approaches and translates research into trauma-informed public scholarship and clinical tools for adults, children, and clinicians.
