Internationally recognized survival coach, Tonier Cain is among the prestigious list of speakers.
After enduring 19 years of drug addiction, three harrowing trips to a mental health facility, 31 failed rehab treatments and 83 arrests, Cain learned that she suffered from untreated trauma and was being re-traumatized by the people and systems that were supposed to help her.
Since exiting treatment in 2005, she’s gained expertise in trauma-informed care and has consulted with corrections officers, judges and child service workers across the country and internationally.
