His work has had a profound impact on how clinicians, educators, and researchers understand and approach trauma, resilience, and therapeutic interventions.

Lead by Dr. Meichenbaum, since its inception 27 years ago, the Melissa Institute has been a hub for the dissemination of research-based knowledge on violence prevention and treatment, the training of mental health professionals and educators, and the creation of practical evidence-based tools to make our homes, schools, and communities safer and healthier.
