Ryan E. Flinn, Ph.D. is an assistant professor at the University of North Dakota. Ryan works with UND students in the Trauma, Substance, Justice, and Recovery Lab. The Trauma, Substance, Justice, and Recovery Lab in the College of Education & Human Development at the University of North Dakota focuses on understanding and addressing the mental, physical, and behavioral healthcare needs of people who experience multiple forms of adversity, including trauma/PTSD, substance use/SUD, and legal system involvement. Members of the lab are interested in prevention, health promotion, treatment, and recovery support services for these and other populations, including adolescents, emerging adults, and people across the lifespan who experience poorer psychosocial and health outcomes due to discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, HIV status, income, ability status, justice system involvement, and racial and/or ethnic identity.
