  So exciting to publish my first time in The Conversation.  Criminal justice needs a better understanding of childhood trauma (theconversation.com) It was picked up by the National Post, which makes me very proud to get the message out about the need for focus on criminal justice reform.  https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/criminal-justice-needs-a-better-understanding-of-childhood-trauma The role of childhood trauma, trauma at any age in fact, has deletrious impact on our mental health and the knowledge of its role will reshape the way that we think about mental illness, its prevention, and most effective treatment strategies that include trauma focus. So much work has been done to bring this to light and so much more work that needs to be done.

This conference was scheduled to take place in New Orleans, but due to COVID-19, was offered via ZOOM Inc., and it was superb. PSI and Parthenon, did a wonderful job in making it all happen virtually. The Virtual Conference Experience This is my 4th PSI Annual Conference. They were in  Philadelphia (2017), Texas (2018), Portland (2019), New Orleans (2020, cancelled and went online). First, I thought that ZOOM was incredible in how they could set up sessions where the panelists/presenters speaking could be seen if their videos were on, but none of the attendees could be seen. The chat function was optional for the presenter to view (I chose to have mine off until the end so I wasn't distracted when I was presenting). Parthenon and the PSI Staff had their videos there too to support the presenters, but they weren't visible to the attendees. I found the ease of coming in and out of sessions, jumping back in, etc., to be so user-friendly. The presenters and attendees were not...
