In this episode, I interview Susan Jones of Creative Behavior Systems. Susan is a 20+ year educator and the Founder & Lead Facilitator of Creative Behavior Systems; a Trauma Informed Education & Training Consulting business.

She shares with us her insight on Trauma Informed practices and how organizational systems, school systems, businesses & EVEN POLITICIANS (!) can benefit from using Trauma Informed practices in their work and day to day interactions with people. We define Trauma Informed, we explore its applications & we observe how being truly Trauma Informed is a practice of Self-Love, Self-Care & Self-Preservation!

Our host, Mari, details her timeline with trauma-informed work. She walks us through her first introduction with Trauma-Informed practices from her mentor Susan Jones and how it followed her throughout the remainder of her career. We receive her story through professional and personal accounts of trauma from chaotic unsupportive classroom environments to relationship trauma AND brain injury. We learn the origins of this podcast and how she intends to use her platform to bridge personal to professional experiences in hopes to help us become more compassionate, connected and trauma-informed professionals and people.
