Understanding Trauma w/ Michael Lovell (Part 2)

What can we all do about trauma in our community?

Trauma is one of the biggest issues facing communities across the country. We hear more and more each day about efforts to heal trauma and help prevent it in future generations. 

As I learned first-hand, mental health is often overlooked and not considered a real health issue.  We somehow believe that our brain is not connected to the rest of our body.  Whether someone is suffering from anxiety, depression or trauma, these are challenges many people face each day.  These are issue in need of innovation.

One person at the forefront of this mission is President Mike Lovell and it was a pleasure to be able to discuss this important topic with him on Innovators on Tap. We focused on his personal connection to trauma, what research has shown about the effects of trauma, and his efforts to help create a community based solution with SWIM – Scaling Wellness in Milwaukee.
