The Association for Trauma Outreach & Prevention (ATOP) MeaningfulWorld hosted a compelling panel discussion titled “AI and EI: Challenges to Healing Traumatized Women and Men Globally” at the 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) at the United Nations on March 13th in New York.

The panel had a fivefold purpose:
