Have you ever marveled at the resilience of those who tirelessly advocate for others, even amidst their own personal adversities?

In this final episode in our series, Advocating for Resilience, Maryann McEvoy offers an unfiltered glimpse into promoting change while navigating the complexities of government systems. We discussed her own personal trauma,  the profound impacts of empathy-driven leadership, the challenges of confronting legal and corporate giants in the fight for human rights, and how our own experiences can inform and revolutionize the way we lead and engage with our teams during difficult times.

We also talk about the building blocks of trauma-informed communities, including the innovative initiatives in Pennsylvania that are a model for fostering healing and resilience from the grassroots level.

The episode is a masterclass on how a single voice, driven by authentic purpose and conviction, can lead to change. And it offers a wealth of insights for anyone looking to cultivate a culture of compassion and resilience within their own lives and organizations.

Maryann McEvoy is the Executive Director at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Office of Advocacy and Reform , and elected member of the Executive Steering Council of HEAL PA, a coalition of close to 300 trauma experts within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania working to implement the Trauma Informed PA Plan.
