“I am so thankful to work alongside Ellen. She has an unwavering commitment to creating a stronger community, illustrated through her work in advocacy, outreach, and education. Ellen’s positive and upbeat energy provides strong motivation for teams she works with.  As a teacher, what I appreciate most in attending any workshop is hearing from someone who has walked in my shoes, and Ellen has. She does a great job integrating real-life examples and research based practices into her discussions to engage her audience. After hearing her speak, I have both the knowledge and inspiration to reflect on and improve my actions as a teacher.  I strongly recommend collaborating with Ellen to school staffs and anyone connected with children and young adults who have experienced trauma.” L.
