Discuss the impact of trauma on the body and mind. The main focus is to provide shared experience, tools and tips in the pursuit of Mental Health. This will help you navigate the complex world of trauma, recovery and to promote a better understanding of the impact(s) of trauma.

My goal is to share my experience as a retired Police Officer and how trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, impacted myself. I will also share what I have learned and the tools I use to navigate trauma recovery.

Guests will also share their experiences and success stories as they themselves recover from trauma.
