How Trauma Informed Care Saved My Life | Adrienne Rouan | TEDxDelthorneWomen

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxDelthorneWomen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxDelthorneWomen, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion around the topic Fearless. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
TEDWomen is a TED event curated by TED that focuses on women and women’s issues. TEDxWomen events are TEDx events that follow the live webcast of TEDWomen, and also feature local speakers. Our event is called TEDxDelthorneWomen and we are one of the many TEDx events that will happen around the world on November 28th, 2020. We will expand upon the ideas brought up at TEDWomen, while also relating it back to the Women of Los Angeles.
Adrienne considers it an honor to serve as a guide to women who are overcoming traumatic experiences to successfully achieve their most deeply held hopes and dreams.
A history of traumatic experiences brought her to her knees. This ultimately led Adrienne to acknowledging her own inner strength, the power of trauma informed care, and to embark on the quest of creating communities and processes which guide women on the journey to thriving after trauma.
A personal and professional understanding of success patterns and a database with hundreds of trauma informed resources helps Adrienne lead clients to achieving concrete and life changing results. Naturally divergent thinking patterns and formal investigative training result in solutions which are far from status quo, and which address the complexities of living life after complex traumas.
A demonstrated lifelong learner, Adrienne is continually expanding and deepening her expertise.
When she isn't spending time with her family, she enjoys hiking in national parks, traveling the country, voraciously reading the newest management and physics theories, running in 5k races, and volunteering time and energy to her community.
