Where do I start?

How does our brain work? What happens to our brains when we experience trauma? Can we heal? These are all great questions, but they don't scratch the surface when it comes to what we as a society knows and continues to learn. Our brain is an amazing organ in our bodies and as science improves so does our knowledge. But where do we find the information? How do we share the information? There are many research universities across the globe. Many research groups specializing on specific topics like brain development and trauma or human trafficking and so much more. Each group has to decide what it is they want to know and whats the best way to figure out that information. For some it's a quantitative studay which is all about numbers. They can then do graphs or other infographics to share the knowledge. Other cases they need to go so much deeper. Sharing qualitative data takes a different form. There can be graphs used for some of the data, but in many cases videos, blogs, or slides are so much more effective. There are lots of great infographics out there to gather even more information from so that you don't have to start from scratch but you have to be very careful not to plagerize or not give credit where credit is due. When sharing the information found you have to be sure that you are creating something that will speak to the audience you wish to reach. Something super scientific won't likely reach the impoverished community you are trying to educate about how to minimize trauma's effects. But those simple pieces of information is going to bore or waste the time of a psychiatrist who did all their undergraduate work on trauma. That's where a needs assessment comes in. Find out what your audience needs before you begin piecing it together and sharing it.
