Our Brains on Trauma: Emotions and Implications - Student Perspective | Emma Massa | TEDxSUNYPotsdam

Students spend their days jumping from class to class, snagging a bite of food when they can, and staying up late most nights to complete their work just to do it again the next day. The days are fast paced, hectic, and one barely gets time to wind down. But...what happens when a student experiences something traumatic? After experiencing a traumatic life altering event, Emma Massa was determined to uncover the implications of trauma on students and pushed for her research to serve as a resource for faculty and staff to learn from. Her research attempts to explain. what trauma is and how it alters the brain, its pathways, and the overall effects on a person's mental and physical health. She then offers a personal account of how she herself and her college life were impacted by her traumatic experience. Ms. Massa is a dedicated historian, researcher and student. Driven by her passion Emma takes pride in constructing well-researched projects at her graduate institution as well as checking in on her nearly 75 undergraduate students. As a graduate student, her goals include finishing her Ph.D. and working abroad creating preventative and interventive programming for underrepresented populations experiencing trauma. In addition to her primary goals Emma has been recognized by SUNY Potsdam for her extraordinary commitment to advocating for her fellow students’ needs and inspiring inclusion among them. In the Spring of 2021 Emma was recognized for her involvement in the representation of homeless students as well as her efforts to the campus food pantry. She then went on to organize one of the most successful students led food drives in the history of SUNY Potsdam with her fellow Emerging Leaders. When she sees a need, she will find a solution. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
