When Trauma Enters the Room — She's the One They Call.

Dr. Danisha Keating is extraordinarily gifted in preparing staff and faculty in helping understand how to support students. Her trauma-informed lens brings a clarity and compassion to professional development that I have not seen anywhere else. After her training, our team walked away with real tools we could use the very next day.

I came in not sure what to expect, and I left feeling equipped and confident. Dr. Keating has a way of making complex information feel accessible and actionable. Every staff member who attends her sessions becomes a better advocate for the students they serve.

As a parent, I have sat through many school presentations and left feeling unheard. Dr. Keating was different. She spoke to us, not at us. For the first time, I felt seen, understood, and empowered to advocate for my child. She is the voice parents like me have been waiting for.

Dr. Keating brought a depth of knowledge and lived experience to our faculty session that no textbook could replicate. She challenged us to think differently about the students in our classrooms and gave us practical frameworks to do better. Our entire department has shifted the way we engage with students because of her work.
