Module 2 of the Post-Traumatic Growth Specialist-History of Trauma Treatment
October 11, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am MST
Free
Jenny Brackman and Emily Hedrick are coaches, survivors, passionate communicators and absolute nerds.
They’re designing this course, the Post-Traumatic Growth Specialist, to equip people with the skills to serve as expert companions to those who have experienced trauma.
Best of all, their non-clinical approach makes this course approachable for anyone!
In this module, Jenny and Emily will take us on an entertaining tour of the history of mental health care and trauma treatment, and explore why it matters to us today.

About the Presenters:
Jenny Brackman
Jenny Brackman has served Arizona children and families impacted by ACEs for over 20 years. Her formal education comes from ASU where she studied closely under Bob and Barb Weigand, pioneers in the field of infant and toddler mental health.
In 2010 she and her husband chose to be foster parents and adopted a sibling group of three from foster care. Eight years later, she believes her best education has come from parenting five children and her marriage of almost 18 years.
Motivated by her own family’s experience with compassion fatigue, Jenny founded Rezilia to bring Dr. Eric Gentry’s research on resilience to lay-people.
Jenny is currently the Vice President of the Forward-Facing® Institute creating resources to equip a new generation of leaders with resilience.
In her free time you can find Jenny spending time with her family, making kombucha, or fighting with the guys at her local Muay Thai gym.
Emily Hedrick
Emily is a former pastor who specializes in religious trauma. As a person who has survived by trying to disappear – whether through charm, compliance or simply blending into the wall – Forward Facing has helped me regain my sense of self and willingly share that self with others. I am excited to help you discover who you want to be and develop the skills to live into enjoying that vibrant person.
Emily is currently the Director of Operations and Innovation of the Forward-Facing® Institute.
