Dr. Linder founded the Chrysalis Anti-Human Trafficking Network in 2010 and Canada's National Roundtable on Human Trafficking the following year. In 2011, she co-founded Freedom Relay Canada, an annual education and fundraising initiative for survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. In 2013, she developed and launched Canada's first national human trafficking investigators forum, an initiative designed to connect law enforcement personnel nationally and internationally. Later that year, she established the SAFENET project, creating access to a network of safe houses for survivors of human trafficking across Canada. In 2014, she became the founding Clinical Director of a treatment centre for sexually abused children. She was also a founding co-chair of EUROTAS' international trauma and disaster relief task force.
Dr. Linder's scholarly work focuses on the mental health impacts of sexual abuse and human trafficking, trauma and soul loss, the role of imagination in trauma recovery, and the experiences of racialized women in leadership. Her professional affiliations include the College of Alberta Psychologists, the Psychological Association of Alberta, the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario, the American Psychological Association, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, and the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation.
