LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Caron Sanders-Crook

I am an award-winning mental health and resilience advocate, bestselling author, trauma-informed coach, and Gulf War frontline nurse veteran. My goal is to help others Transform Pain to Progress because of my own struggles, which have included personal loss, post-natal depression, and the trauma of abuse. I use my experiences as the author of Behind The Smiles: An Army Veteran's Wife's Personal Guide for Supporting Families with PTSD to encourage those going through difficult times. With awards like the Cavell Star, the Chief Nursing Officer Social Care Gold Award, and the prestigious title of Queen's Nurse, I am committed to using compassionate and somatic trauma-informed coaching, education, and leadership to help people find strength, resilience, recovery, and progress.
