It was not until her retirement ceremony in January 2019 that she elected to share her history with addiction, anxiety, family dysfunction, and both physical and emotional trauma both on and off the job. Nine years ago, Natalie made the decision to stop self-medicating the pain with alcohol and manage her life differently. Natalie will share her story and what she has learned Public Safety agencies can do to be more helpful for their valued employees.

Jeff Thomas, Psy.D., Ottawa University, will address issues related to human gender. Social norms are changing. This session will explore the application of gender in different cultures and worldviews.  By expanding our definition gender, we can better serve our community and all audiences.
