With a Bachelor of Social Work degree and over 20 years of experience, Kristin Lukie has had an integral part in working and facilitating training and conferences on addictions, sexual exploitation, and trauma informed care and practices. She is a certified Canadian Red Cross Facilitator on Violence & Abuse Preventions and province appointed Addiction Specialist. Kristin has a deep passion to continue to be a resource for healing to both people and organizations impacted by traumatic experiences. She aspires and strives to improve experiences that are the result of biases and prejudices which permeate our Canadian culture. Her goal is to support youth, families and organizations by giving them the tools to find healthy ground in order to help strengthen relationships for trauma resiliency. In this vein, Kristin has worked closely alongside Dr. Sandra Bloom, to pilot a program called “Creating Presence”, an advanced guide and support model for organizations to become not only trauma informed and trauma responsive but “trauma resilient”.
