In this Flashback Fridays episode, we revisit an inspiring conversation with Becky Haas, a dynamic leader known for her work in trauma-informed care. Becky’s journey took an unexpected turn when she joined a police department in Northeast Tennessee with no criminal justice background, only to discover the transformative power of trauma-informed leadership. Through her passionate advocacy and pioneering efforts, Becky has helped train law enforcement, educators, and community leaders to recognize the deep impact of trauma and implement practices that foster healing and resilience.
Becky's reflection on the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study is one of the most compelling moments in this conversation. She shares how it hit her "like a punch in the gut" and reshaped her approach to leadership and community development. Becky’s message is clear: trauma doesn’t have to define someone’s future, and with the right support, anyone can rise above their past. This episode offers profound insights into how empathy, understanding, and trauma-informed practices can transform not just individuals, but entire communities.
