It's working! Trauma Talks is working! Here are a couple of quotes from the men who completed our Trauma Talks curriculum: "This was the most significant program I have taken inside CDCR." "This information has helped create and solidify bonds with people inside and outside. We all have trauma, but we can all heal from trauma if we come together.” This is my view of the the Trauma Talks graduation at Correctional Training Facility in October. This photo means so much to me, seeing the men who dedicated 16-weeks of rigorous curriculum celebrating their achievement and growth. A day I'll never forget. #Gratitude #TraumaTalks #Authenticity #PostTraumaticGrowth #HealingInCommunity #ShiftHappens

We are excited to have Dick Schwartz, the founder of IFS (Internal Family Systems) (tag here!) on our podcast! When I started working with families in therapy, I found myself asking, Why aren’t we seeing the changes we hoped for? My clients began describing these internal 'parts'—different aspects of themselves that were often in conflict. Without any assumptions, I listened and learned. What emerged was a deeper understanding of how these parts relate, sometimes struggling, sometimes isolated—what we call ‘exiles.’ Coming from a systems background, I realized that just as families have dynamics, so do our inner worlds. This journey opened my eyes to the powerful concept of Internal Family Systems—a path to helping people heal by understanding their inner relationships. ???? #InternalFamilySystems #HealingJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #UnderstandingSelf

If you could help an abused child, would you?

"We’re working with correctional officers and staff to raise awareness of how childhood trauma affects behavior. By educating everyone in the prison environment, we’re creating a system rooted in empathy and understanding. Trauma-informed care is for everyone. ?Your support makes this work possible.
