In her Outreach role with TPAPN Stacy provides both accredited and individually tailored workshops to address challenges that healthcare providers face today in relation to nurse wellness; substance use disorder and mental health. With a focus on health promotion, the human response to stress, early intervention, risk reduction, and harm reduction Stacy utilizes a trauma informed and evidence-based approach. Stacy is particularly passionate about stigma reduction/elimination that continues to present as a barrier to care for nurses experiencing a mental health condition and/or unhealthy substance use.   

Here to listen, attune, and meet each individual where they are at, Stacy’s mission is to work together to humanize healthcare providers with the knowledge that we, as professional nurses, may experience a mental health condition during our career.
