Victoria Donkin

RESEARCH ASSISTANT

Victoria is a first-year MSW student specializing in Indigenous trauma and resiliency. She completed her B.A. in psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University with a double minor in philosophy and English literature. She has spent the last six years working in the clinical research sector, focusing predominantly on dyadic and individual evidence-based interventions for PTSD and trauma-related disorders. ​

Currently, Victoria works at the Centre of Addictions and Mental Health, engaging in policy and suicide prevention research to make crisis and distress lines more equitable. Her work has given her a deep understanding of the barriers to accessing adequate culturally-informed care. She is interested in using these experiences to develop and provide access to culturally adaptive interventions for race-based and intergenerational trauma and PTSD specific to BIPOC communities to bridge the current gaps in services and treatments offered.
