The STAR Program was founded in 2009 and provides education and clinical services to health care professionals, first responders and trauma survivors throughout the community. The Program operates the STAR Trauma Recovery Center that provides clinical services and case management support for victims of crime and trauma.

The Center for Psychiatry and Resilience is bringing together the country's top researchers to address the growing suicide and addiction epidemics by developing innovative treatments that are resilience-based and focus on early intervention. The Center will be community-facing and will collaborate with other centers around the state with a shared goal of building more resilient individuals, families and communities in Ohio and around the world.
