NYAPRS Early Bird Offer Ends Tomorrow; Meet Conference Keynoter Cheryl Sharp!

Cheryl Sharp is a national treasure. She holds the unique perspective of a person who has recovered from significant mental health challenges, a trauma survivor, a family

member of a loved one who died as a result of mental illness, and a provider of substance abuse and mental health services.

Cheryl has worked with adult trauma survivors for over 28 years and trains and speaks nationally on trauma-informed care. She is a Master WRAP Trainer, Mental Health

First Aid USA instructor, and trainer of Intentional Peer Support. She is also an ordained minister.

Cheryl has also received a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) Voice Award for her work and personal stories educating the public about behavioral health

and the Lou Ann Townsend Courage Award for her contributions to persons with psychiatric disabilities.

As the leader of the National Council’s Trauma-Informed Care Learning Communities, Cheryl has led many behavioral health organizations in preparing to offer trauma-informed

care.
