Osiris Diego Hal

(they/them/theirs)

Hi! My name is Osiris, and I’m originally from the Bay Area (intentionally vague, we moved around a lot) and I went to UC Davis as an Oakland Promise Scholar. At UC Davis I studied Psychology (B.A.) with two minors in African & African American Studies and Human Development. I am currently in the Trauma & Adversity, Resilience & Prevention (TARP) Lab at UCSB. My primary research interest is suicide research to help improve clinical suicide interventions for individuals with complex trauma or C-PTSD that also practice cultural humility. I am also working on research projects examining the aftermath of exposure to police brutality for Black communities. My clinical resonance is trauma and/or (C)PTSD, Black Queer/Non-Binary/Trans/Questioning identities and Neurodivergence!

I find healing in painting my nails, the outdoors, anime, reading LGBTQIA+ fiction, and animals. You can reach me at osiris@ucsb.edu.
