Aaron Cadayong is a Senior Project Fellow with CSW’s Trauma and Resilience at Work team. The CSW Trauma and Resilience at Work team advances workplaces and workforces that are culturally responsive, trauma-informed, resilience-building, and supportive of mental well-being. CSW works with partners and stakeholders to reduce the stigma of trauma and mental health in workforce development and the workplace; educate employees at all levels within organizations on trauma, resilience, and mental health; advance trauma-informed, resilience-building, and mental health supportive organizations and companies; and promote policies and systems that codify and sustain this work.
Aaron first joined CSW as an intern in 2022 through a public health program at Columbia University. He later served as a Suicide Prevention Regional Coordinator in rural Minnesota before returning to CSW and advancing into his current role as Senior Project Fellow. In Minnesota, Aaron supported suicide prevention efforts across eight counties by delivering community trainings, supporting local coalitions, and advancing systems-level approaches to mental health promotion and crisis prevention. This experience deepened his understanding of the challenges facing rural and underserved communities and strengthened his commitment to mental health equity, prevention, and community resilience. Aaron brings to CSW a strong interest in the intersection of mental health, neuroscience, trauma, and workplace well-being. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience from Brigham Young University, with minors in Psychology and Family Life.
