Leading and Healing After Fire explores the personal and professional toll of leadership in post-disaster recovery and the importance of sustaining the well-being of those who step into these challenging roles. Moderated by Jolie Wills, a cognitive scientist and disaster recovery expert, the panel features Clara Bergen, Amy Bernstein, and Adrienne Heinz—each sharing deeply personal stories and insights from their work and lived experiences in disaster-impacted communities. Together, they discuss burnout, resilience, trauma, and the path toward healing and post-traumatic growth for leaders navigating recovery after wildfire.
