Kristen Coltrin is currently finishing her last semester of her masters program at NNU as a Clinical Social Worker. Last year she interned at the Idaho Suicide Hotline and trained and spoke with over 1,500 church leaders and members about how to address suicide. This year she has been counseling students, substance abusers and facilitating a high school LGBTQ group.
Kristen has been married to her boyfriend Cory Coltrin for thirty years and together they have three amazing children. She is passionate about helping to break the stigmas surrounding mental health and getting the help needed to live a healthy life.
