Winden Rowe is not only our founder and director but a prolific writer on all things trauma-related. She has aspirations to influence population health awareness through her writing and her work with other organizations. Her goal in writing is to break the stigma that is the undercurrent of our mental health system in the United States.

She hopes through writing and community engagement to shift the American population mindset to be more trauma-aware, and to use trauma to unify populations versus divide. She fundamentally believes, as demonstrated in the research, that a trauma-informed country will enhance population health at a prevention level.
