Background Both gender-based violence (GBV; violence enacted based on perceived or actual gender, predominantly affecting girls, women, and gender-diverse people) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; household adversities before 18 years of age such as physical abuse) reduce quality of life. ACEs can also amplify the risk of later GBV. Despite extensive study, GBV and ACEs remain inadequately addressed, largely linked to the siloed approaches of service providers in community-based agencies focused on care and academic scholars focused on research. Mentorship programs rooted in transdisciplinary collaboration, such as the Triadic Mentorship Program (TMP) delivered through the Alliance against Violence and Adversity health research training platform, are pivotal in equipping the next generation of scholars to effectively support children, women, and gender-diverse people. This evaluation examined the perspectives and experiences of mentees, academic mentors, and agency mentors regarding (1) overall TMP satisfaction, (2) impacts on professional and personal development and goal attainment, and (3) suggestions for improvement and additional comments. Methods A structured survey including open-ended and closed-ended questions was used to collect data from April to June 2025. Results Respondents viewed the TMP as a bridge to the knowledge-to-practice gap and an opportunity for relationship-building. Most would recommend the program to others. Areas for improvement included triad matching, clearer TMP purpose and roles, and the mentee-led structure. Conclusion The TMP was positively regarded, demonstrating that mentorship programs uniting community-based partners, academics, and mentees can foster transdisciplinary collaboration to address and prevent GBV and ACE inequities. Community-based partners were deemed powerful in research by mentees and academic mentors.
