In Conversation with Dr. James Rodriguez
Voices From the Field is a new CTAC podcast for practitioners, by practitioners, to share stories and experiences of wellness, care, and treatment. It's an opportunity to listen to these stories of practice, learn from one another, and elevate the amazing work that exists throughout New York State.
Our fifth and final episode of our inaugural podcast installment is a conversation with Dr. James (Jim) Rodriguez about trauma and resilience. Dr. Rodriguez has deep experience supporting children, youth and families with a special focus on trauma-informed care. Early in his career, Dr. Rodriguez developed trauma treatments for children and youth impacted by 9/11. Since then he has worked closely with pioneering child and family researchers — including Dr. Kimberly Hoagwood and Dr. Mary McKay — to better understand not only the impacts of trauma but also the inherent resilience of people who have experienced traumatic events. Here’s what he said about resilience: “As we become more aware of the impact of trauma, we’re simultaneously becoming more aware of the things people do to cope and thrive in the face of trauma.” Also in this episode, he reminds us that there is no ‘one size fits all’ regarding wellness or resilience. Trigger Warning: This episode contains descriptions of traumatic experiences including abuse.
Dr. James Rodriguez is a Senior Research Scientist and Director of Trauma-Informed Services at the McSilver Institute. He is a licensed clinical social worker and psychologist with over 25 years of providing mental health services to children, youth and families in a variety of service settings, including direct practice, training and research experience in the area of trauma treatment and services. His work at the McSilver Institute includes the development and dissemination of training materials to promote trauma-informed care in diverse service settings for children, youth and families. In addition, Dr. Rodriguez has a private practice that focuses on trauma treatment. As well, he is an adjunct faculty member and teaches cultural competence at the NYU Silver School of Social Work.
