Nicolle Perras has worked at the intersections of public and mental health for 20 years conducting research, data surveillance, program development and evaluation. Her areas of expertise include suicide prevention, mental and behavioral health, the impact of trauma on health and wellbeing, trauma informed care and healthcare utilization, vicarious trauma and staff wellbeing, and connecting the dots between multiple forms of violence.

She examines these public health issues through their intersections with mental health, chronic disease management, healthcare utilization, trauma informed service delivery and systems, and overall population health and wellness.
