Welcome to Rewire: Complex Trauma and the Mind-Body Connection, a podcast where we navigate the intricate terrain of complex trauma and unravel the profound mind-body-brain connection within the realm of human services.
This podcast is produced by UC Davis Human Services’ Resource Center for Family-Focused Practice and is supported by the California Department of Social Services. Our podcast hosts are Laurie Ellington, a leading neuroscience expert, and Beth Cohen, a renowned clinical and organizational psychologist, both of whom are also popular instructors at UC Davis Human Services. Each episode will engage experts, practitioners and individuals with lived experiences to shed light on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities within the human services field.
Join us as we embark on a transformative exploration of complex trauma, neurobiology and the boundless potential for healing and growth – not just for the children and families involved within the systems of care, but also for the compassionate workforce that serves alongside them.
