ABSTRACT
At the 41st Annual Meeting of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, held in Baltimore, Maryland, on September 17-20, 2025, researchers and practitioners worldwide convened to examine issues central to the theme, “Frontiers in Traumatic Stress: Global Perspectives and Creative Solutions.” The meeting highlighted global and local complexities in trauma assessment, intervention, and policy and showcased innovative research and practice across diverse contexts. This editorial spotlights papers drawn from presentations at the meeting that illuminate key innovations, emerging developments, and evidence-based practices across the field. The featured work spans topics including the recognition of chronic trauma exposure across global settings; promises and challenges posed by advances in digital technologies and artificial intelligence; progress in trauma-informed assessment, diagnosis, and intervention; and community-based approaches addressing the impacts of systemic trauma. This issue presents a curated sample of the meeting’s compelling presentations to illuminate the depth and breadth of contemporary trauma innovations and to chart directions for future research, clinical practice, and policy that more holistically support improved outcomes for affected individuals and the prevention of trauma-related psychopathology following exposure.
