Speaking & Trauma-Informed Advocacy

Suzanne Bell brings a trauma-informed, survivor-centered perspective shaped by lived experience,

professional background, and published work. Her speaking draws from her books, including

Beyond the Exam Room, Loving Through the Hurt, and the Lila & Bunny children’s book series.

Together, these works are frequently used as companion resources for trainings, book clubs,

classrooms, and professional development, offering practical insight into trauma-informed care,

compassionate communication, and supporting survivors. Suzanne’s approach emphasizes clarity,

empathy, and real-world application, helping professionals and communities create environments

where individuals feel safe, respected, and understood.

Suzanne speaks to healthcare professionals, educators, parents, caregivers, community leaders, and organizations - including churches - who are seeking to better understand the impact of trauma and implement supportive, survivor-centered practices in their daily work.
