Rachel L. Burrage, MSW, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Myron B. Thompson School of Social Work, Department of Social Work, at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. Her research revolves around Indigenous, particularly Native Hawaiian, mental health, resilience, and trauma recovery. This includes the development and evaluation of culturally grounded, trauma-informed mental health interventions and projects to document and strengthen cultural practices that promote resilience. Previously she has studied the perceptions of trauma, healing, resilience, and resistance among survivors of the Indian Residential School System of Canada, barriers and resources for American Indian youth struggling with suicide in an urban environment, and the use of an evidence-based intervention to foster resilience to trauma and social support among a mixed group of Alaska Native and non-Native women survivors of intimate partner violence.
