Laura van Dernoot Lipsky is the founder and director of The Trauma Stewardship Institute and author of “Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others.” Van Dernoot Lipsky has worked in the trauma field for more than 30 years and is known internationally. She was a decade into her career when she suffered a near-psychotic break and suddenly realized the dire impact of working to help others overcome trauma without taking time to sustain herself. This personal experience sparked her journey to discover the lasting effects on individuals and communities that are exposed to trauma, such as fatal storms, mass shootings and other crises. She has worked with diverse populations, from small nonprofits to massive state agencies, including:
Zookeepers and reconstruction workers in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans
Community organizers and health care providers in Japan
U.S. Air Force pilots and Canadian firefighters
Public school teachers, libraries, colleges and Ivy League universities
The Pentagon
Her 2015 TED talk was one of the first delivered inside a women’s correctional facility.
