SAVE THE DATE! The NRC (along with MCW Comprehensive Injury Center, Marquette University Law School & Marquette University Andrew Center) is hosting a luncheon series starting on Jan. 22nd!

Another member of our team, Jacey Kant, Research Program Coordinator, presented at the American Association of Suicidology conference as well. She presented on some of the recent work of the division done in collaboration with MCWTraumaACS and with the support of Milwaukee Trauma Outcomes Project.
