This week, we’re talking to Katie Kurtz, MSW LISW-S (she/her), a subject-matter expert and trainer who specializes in integrative and inclusive trauma-informed care. As a licensed social worker & certified coach, she has spent the last 15 years specializing in trauma-informed training and consultation across multiple disciplines and industries. She reimagines trauma-informed care as inclusive and accessible for all people and professions through her developed frameworks and methodologies.

She brings a vast lens of integrative instruction to embody these skills across many client experiences. She believes in honoring the origins of the approach while ushering it into a future that is inclusive for all industries and most importantly, doable so people can apply it into everyday practice.
