1) Introduction about your self.

Carla A. Carlisle is TEDx speaker, author, trauma expert and child advocate. A proud boy mom, she has dedicated her life to informing the world about the impact of trauma and how we can excel beyond it.

2) about your profession and how you are involved in this profession

Carla’s organization is Carla A Carlisle LLC. She found her calling after becoming a foster parent and now adoptive parent to her son, JC. Through the six-year journey to adopt JC,
Carla saw the direct impact of trauma and intergenerational trauma on her child and herself. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) impact children into adulthood without social buffering. ACEs increases a person’s likelihood of trying to die by suicide by as much as 1200%, I almost lost my child at the tender age of 6, and consistent exposure to his family’s intergenerational trauma impacted my own mental and physical well-being. Trauma and mental health are as important as physical health, without advocacy and support, the impact can be devastating to the individual and society. Carla not only wanted better for her own son, but for all people who are traumatized or dealing with toxic stress.

Carla’s workshops:

3) about your achievements

Carla gave her TEDx Talk entitled Becoming Trauma Informed Changed My Life to share two important things: 1) the connection of mental health (especially ACEs) and physical health and 2) the importance of everyone taking ownership by helping/advocating for those who didn’t have support as a child and their children. She isn’t asking anyone to be a superhero, just to become a loving advocate to a child or children in need. See more at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT7aiDiAI84&t=16s

Carla and her 11-year-old son JC penned “My Big Notebook: It’s About Me with a Little Help from My Friend JC”. My Big Notebook is the first of its kind; a fun, private, guided way for elementary school-aged children to express their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences as an ongoing form of self-expression while coping with life and daily stressors. JC is your child’s buddy in a composition-style book. My Big Notebook includes evidence-based coping mechanisms packaged into fun journaling and coloring pages along with meaningful stories from JC’s life.

Carla penned “Journey to the Son” to share the often perilous journey many children face when the trauma of their parents is unresolved. She pours her heart out to the reader about her battles with infertility, a failed marriage, becoming a foster parent and then losing the child to the foster care system. She went on to try to help the birth parents and ended up becoming a victim of trauma herself. Yes, she risked it all for the son of her heart. Learn more at

Carla was a key contributor to Change, Creativity, Curiosity and Hope in a Crisis Called Pandemic: Uncertainty, Fear, Perspective and Prayer, which is a great bedside book to read through during those times of isolation at home during the pandemic. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1977232426/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_8ATB8FFTXZPK5DH7JSA4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Her mission is to bring awareness to the impact of trauma so those in a position to help, will. Helping children and their families will make the world better for us all.
