Viewing Through a New Lens: A Survivor’s Guide | Part 4

Wednesday, August 2, 2023
10:00 am11:15 am

Join us for Parts 3 & 4 as we continue with the topics that we began with diving deeper into neuroscience including some often overlooked trauma symptoms, as well as some practice tips and Q&A along the way.

Children and youth who have experienced trauma, broken and insecure attachments, and other assaults to the brain present significant challenges to families. Speaking from a point of personal experience Shenandoah Chefalo is a professional coach and author who presents to professional and family audiences across the country.

Following a career in the legal field, Shenandoah wrote Setting Your Vision and Defining Your Goals (an e-book) and published her memoir, Garbage Bag Suitcase about her experiences before, during and after foster care. She has been featured on radio and television, locally, nationally and internationally.
