Trent traveled a horrific journey through the foster care system until he was adopted at the age of 9. After healing from his traumatic past, Trent, who is now 20, shares his inspiring story of triumph in order to provide hope and healing for others.

He is involved in foster care reform at the national level. He also serves as Co-Founder and CEO for “Watch Me Rise” which is a ministry devoted to working on behalf of children who have experienced trauma like he once did.

Trent is currently completing his undergraduate degree in family and human development at Arizona State University and plans to pursue a masters in clinical counseling. On the day we met him he had just completed training to become a TBRI practitioner.
