Meet Dawren
When I was young, my brother and I had to learn how to navigate the world without the support children should be able to count on. For years, surviving felt normal.
With time, I understood that the challenges I had overcome could become something valuable: insight, empathy, and a real desire to help others build a different future.
Today, I combine lived experience with science-informed strategies to help adults and young people turn self-awareness into action.
