The Trauma Informed Parent Podcast: Meet the Team
Trauma Informed Parent was launched over twelve years ago by Suzy DeYoung to offer parents and caregivers of children who have experienced trauma information and resources on the nature of trauma, how and when it can manifest, and how they can best help the children in their care. This information was largely unavailable in 2004 when Suzy's son suffered a very traumatic accident.
The newest Trauma Informed Parent team member, Catherine Galda, LCSW, has extensive experience - both personally and professionally - caring for both children and adults who have endured a traumatic experience.
In this episode - the launch of the Trauma Informed Parent podcast - Suzy and Catherine share their personal and professional experiences and what led them here. They also share what to expect from this podcast as well as upcoming guests which include Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score and other prominent voices both in the field and who have cared for children with trauma.
