Thriving After Catastrophe & Trauma Recovery Expert

Nancy is a Speaker, Coach & Author  /  Her web site is: www.survivoracceptance.com

Nancy is a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers (ACSW) and a Board Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress (BCETS), with a Board Certification in Disability Trauma (BCDT).

Nancy is also a survivor of a severe brain injury sustained in 1971.  Following her injury, she had to relearn how to walk, talk, think and function independently.  She went on to complete her undergraduate and subsequently a graduate degree in social work.  I have lived for more than 38 years experiencing the triumphs and defeats that accompany living with a traumatic brain injury.  Learning to recover after my trauma taught me 3 things about life.  First, Recovery is Making Progress.  Second, Recovery demands commitment.  Third, Dogged determination is necessary, not the kind that fades with the season.
