Bits and Pieces with Dr. Joanne Cacciatore

I'm a Professor at Arizona State University, where I run the graduate Certificate in Trauma and Bereavement, and founder of the MISS Foundation. You can watch our work on Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry's Apple TV docuseries, "The Me You Can't See" in episode 4.  I also served on their 'mental health' advisory board, along with 13 esteemed colleagues as part of the series. You can meet us all in the final town hall episode, "The Path Forward".
​
In July of 1994 the course of my life changed: the day my baby daughter died. Since then, I have committed my life to the service of others suffering traumatic deaths, as it was in the darkness when I truly found my self.
