What does a criminologist do?

We have supported youth, parents, and those directly involved with young people. We have taught professionals various strategies that address a multitude of high-risk situations. These include:

• Rage and Anger

• Trauma and Truncated Grief

• Parents Afraid of Their Children

• Children (of all ages) With An Incarcerated Parent

• Social Media Issues and Victims of Bullying on Social Media

• School Violence and Community Violence Perpetrated By Teens

Susan’s consultations with families have included interventions and navigations with parents, youth encompassing the education, medical, legal, and mental health systems. Susan stabilized rage and anger in high-risk situations with the goal of safety and the trajectory of a positive and productive future for youth and their families. Susan offered expertise in “the other domestic violence” with youth as abuser and parent as victim. It was her number one call out. Susan has worked with adults and young people on some of the worst days of their lives.

“Parents believe they are the only family living with the nightmare of youth violence in the home. It is more common than many fathom, but it is a secret kept behind the door. Reaching out to me is one of the hardest calls a parent makes. It is rewarding and an honor to be part of their positive change.”

“By learning how to understand and address anger and rage, we can be ladders of hope and conduits of change.”
