Meredith is the mom of five kids, four of whom are adopted, and three of these are biological sisters. Additionally, Meredith is the founder of James Trail, an organization that seeks to come alongside families and organizations impacted by trauma.
Meredith talks about the different types of trauma and the services James Trail provides, including social media posts, blogs, a podcast, and newsletters. James Trail wants the content to spur conversations between people so that people are willing to step in to receive help. Meredith also emphasizes the importance of a safe community, and what it really means to be “trauma-informed.”
In addition to the content James Trail produces, they provide in-person trauma-informed workshops across the globe so that people can bring this knowledge back to their places of work and service. Meredith wants people to walk away from their training with a deeper understanding of trauma and mental health, and also with questions and conversations they want to have with people in their circles.
