My interest in writing for this department has three major purposes. The first reason is deeply personal and dedicated to my sister Tiny. My first article explains why she is so important and how I have come to specialize in the area of Trauma Recovery. The second reason is for you, to help provide you with stories of support, information that will help you and yours to cope. The third reason is to provide information and resources to help us all learn to give a louder voice to both the wounds and the resilience of those recovering from trauma.
