What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
(PhD, MPhil, MPA) Psychologist (environmental)/Mad Environmental Social Scientist/
Researcher
It is not my profession, but I am also a psychiatric survivor and an activist and advocate.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
I am seeking work. I worked as an adjunct professor of psychology for 15 years. I have a blog talk radio show, Talk with Tenney. I am new to Florida. My current project is an historical documentary, Mental American Monster The Sprawl of American Psychiatry that shows how 19th century evidence I found changes the story of psychiatry and the history of America. I am a trauma survivor and psychiatric survivor.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I have been involved with calling attention to the consequences of trauma since the early 1990s. I believe part of the trauma is becoming involved with psychiatry as a result of experiencing ACEs. My work looks at historical and contemporary racism, classism, and gendered thinking and other forms of discrimination as they relate to psychiatry.
