Title: Beyond Survival: The Life You Have to Rebuild After Trauma
Presenter: Kaleb Stoppel
Thursday April 23, 2026 from 12-1pm Central Time (US and Canada)
Description: Trauma does not end when the moment is over. For many, that is where a different kind of journey begins.
In this session, I share my experience as a former school administrator who survived a school shooting and the reality of rebuilding life in the aftermath. While survival is often recognized and celebrated, far less attention is given to what follows. The identity shifts. The emotional challenges. The slow and intentional process of healing.
Through personal storytelling and reflection, this presentation offers insight into how trauma continues to impact individuals long after the event, and how we can better support those navigating life after trauma.
