Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern is a clinical psychologist, advocate, and speaker specializing in trauma and recovery. She helps individuals, families, and communities navigate the impact of trauma with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care.
Miri is the Director of Trauma Training and Services at Parents for Peace, and a lecturer at Harvard Medical School, where she trains the next generation of trauma-informed clinicians.
With two decades of experience across clinical, academic, tech startup, and policy settings, she’s developed global training programs and public health initiatives focused on resilience, healing, and recovery—especially in the face of extremism, identity-based violence, and chronic stress.
Whether working with a family in crisis or advising policymakers, Miri brings deep expertise, warmth, and a clear voice to some of the hardest conversations of our time.
The Eradicate Hate Global Summit brings together scholars, practitioners, civil society organizations, and policymakers from around the world to share best practices and lessons learned, based on data and empirical evidence, in countering hate-fueled extremism and violent narratives. No other summit, conference, or workshop brings together such an extraordinary group of world-class talent focused on dealing with the issue of hate-fueled violent extremism.
