About Beth Tyson

Beth Tyson, MA, is a childhood trauma consultant, 3x best-selling author, and child welfare advocate. She has several years of professional experience as a trauma therapist for children and gained an understanding of PTSD from her personal experiences with trauma and loss. Beth’s latest venture is with Connect Our Kids where she is the Director of trauma-informed practices and content creator for an animated video series that teaches teens and adults how to heal from childhood trauma. As a childhood trauma therapist, Beth witnessed an outrageous gap between the number of children that experience trauma and the number of adults who know how to support them. With a relentless hope to improve the mental and physical health of children, she founded Beth Tyson Trauma Consulting (BTTC), a provider of trauma-responsive and trust-based mental health education. BTTC provides online or in-person workshops, public speaking, and consulting on initiatives to spread awareness about childhood trauma and teach parents, caregivers, and professionals how to help children improve their mental health. Using the latest research available, Beth shares practical, evidence-based skills for healing and preventing trauma. Beth is also the author of the children\'s book, A Grandfamily for Sullivan, a therapeutic resources for kinship families. She is a co-author of The Parenting Odyssey: Trials, Treasures, and Triumphs of Parenting in a Pandemic, and Where Social Work Can Lead You: Journeys Into, Around, and Even Out of Social Work. Beth is an avid writer and is frequently quoted in the media on childhood trauma and loss. In her free time, Beth is co-chair of the PA Child Abuse Prevention team, a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), and a member of the CASA Advisory Council. Most proudly, Beth is the mother of a courageous little girl with a very big heart and a secret chocolate stash in her room, just like her mama. In the summer they tackle the ocean together and in the winter they tackle the slopes. Quote:\"A child who can show you her rage doesn\'t think you are an easy target, she thinks you are someone who won\'t abandon her.\" To schedule a free consultation, speaking event, or master-level training, please visit her website BethTyson.com.
