Why TandemStride?

Recovery from trauma doesn’t happen in a straight line, and it doesn’t happen alone. In this video, leaders, survivors, and advocates reflect on what it means to heal in the real world—and why clinical care is just the first step of the recovery journey.

Featuring:
• Dr. Glen Tinkoff, Trauma Surgeon & President, American Trauma Society
• Sue Prentiss, Executive Director, American Trauma Society
• Mark Kalina Jr., Survivor & the inspiration behind TandemStride
• Thomas Stephenson, Survivor, Peer mentor & Chief of Staff, TandemStride

Together, we share our perspectives, stories, and a collective call to action to evolve trauma recovery into something more connected, compassionate, and complete. Because trauma changes everything. So should support.
