Guest Speaker: Dr. Tina Barrett, LCPC, Executive Director / Co-founder of Tamarack Grief Resource Center. Barrett’s commitment to excellence in grief and trauma care is matched by her profound dedication to healthy organizations and setting teams up for success.

Her interactive workshops are informed by her work in schools, hospitals, private practice, group homes, treatment centers, and nonprofits. She serves on the Leadership Team for Project Tomorrow Montana, the Presidents’ Circle
for the National Alliance for Children’s Grief (NACG), and the Advisory Board for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). Dr. Barrett received the Community Educator Award from the
