In this episode, we sit down with Amber Hudgins, Assistant Program Director of Staffing at Havenwood Academy, to talk about what truly makes trauma-informed care work.
Amber shares her journey into behavioral health, what drew her to Havenwood, and why training, compassion, and understanding the “why” behind trauma are critical to creating world-class treatment. From powerful moments on the floor with students to the unseen ways she supports staff behind the scenes, Amber offers a deeply human look at what healing really looks like - for clients and caregivers.
This conversation is an honest reflection on growth, resilience, and the belief that even when the work is hard, it can also be incredibly meaningful.
