With her extensive experience in trauma-informed care, Megan has been instrumental in developing and implementing equity-centered programming that prioritizes healing and resilience. Her work focuses on understanding the multifaceted impacts of trauma on young people, particularly within school environments, where she collaborates closely with school districts and individual schools to create supportive frameworks that foster mental well-being.
At Resilient Futures, Megan leads key projects that integrate mindfulness practices and cultural competence into mental health initiatives, ensuring that diverse populations receive tailored support. Her expertise in crisis response and program evaluation allows her to assess the effectiveness of interventions and adapt strategies to meet the evolving needs of communities. By employing evidence-based approaches such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma for Adolescents (ITCT-A), Megan equips educators and mental health professionals with the tools necessary to recognize and address trauma in their students.
