The mission of The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation is to catalyze multidisciplinary collaborations that inspire groundbreaking innovation, effective prevention, and compassionate intervention to transform care for civilians and military heroes who endure traumatic injuries and events.
The Stepping Strong Innovator Awards program inspires multi-institutional faculty to pursue groundbreaking innovation with a goal of transforming outcomes for civilians and military heroes worldwide.
The Stepping Strong Injury Prevention and Intervention program aims to reduce the number and severity of traumatic injuries resulting from elderly falls, gun violence, distracted driving, and substance use.
The Stepping Strong Plastic Surgery Trauma Fellowship is a unique program designed to train the next generation of medical leaders in advanced and innovative techniques for treating acute and complex injury.
True to the Boston Strong spirit of kindness and collaboration, the members of the Stepping Strong community are inspired to come together to help those with traumatic injuries step strong again.
The leading cause of traumatic injury deaths are drug poisonings. In honor of #NationalRecoveryMonth, 2,357 purple flags were placed on Stoneman Centennial Park at @BrighamandWomens in memory of Massachusetts residents who died from opioid overdose in 2022.
Every September, the Brigham community commemorates this national observance to bring awareness to evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the strong and courageous recovery community, and the dedication of service providers who make recovery possible.
The Stepping Strong Injury Prevention Program offers naloxone trainings to teach you how to save a life in an overdose emergency. For more information or to sign up for a session, email steppingstrong@bwh.harvard.edu.

Congratulations to Stepping Strong Injury Prevention Program Director, Molly Jarman, PhD, MPH, and Stepping Strong Injury Prevention Fellow, Sarabeth Spitzer, MD, on their new study, published by @USNews and JAMA Surgery!
In 2020, the @CDCGov reported 45,000 firearm injuries in the United States. Dr. Jarman and Dr. Spitzer found that gentrified neighborhoods had a 62% higher firearm injury incidence rate than non-gentrified communities.
“It’s vital we begin to investigate the factors causing social disruption and housing displacement, such as gentrification, to develop and implement targeted interventions to prevent firearm injuries," - Molly Jarman, PhD, MPH
“The solution is complicated, but our findings reveal an opportunity to identify communities that may be at increased risk of firearm violence," - Sarabeth Spitzer, MD
