Trauma is the leading cause of death for people ages 1-44 in the United States, yet it receives less than 2% of federal research funding and can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial repercussions.

That critical gap is exactly why the Stepping Strong Center was founded. We support progress across the full continuum of trauma care, from prevention to treatment and recovery, to ensure that survivors are met with compassionate, multidisciplinary care every step of the way.
