Back to National Social Work Month – Social Work Breaks Barriers - SPEAKERS
Ginger Healy, MSW, LCSW
Attachment & Trauma Network, Inc.
Ginger Healy received her master’s degree in social work from UNLV and is a licensed clinical social worker. She has worked in the field of child and family services and hospital trauma for several years until she adopted her son from Romania. At that point she started working for Children’s House International Adoption Agency for the next 15 years serving as the social service supervisor. This job taught her so much about attachment and trauma. In 2016 she was awarded The Angels in Adoption Award and met Julie Beem a fellow awardee. She was so impressed that when an opportunity to work for The Attachment and Trauma Network came up, she jumped in head first. She is married with four children and her greatest teachers about developmental trauma and special needs have been her children. She hopes to give back to parents in her professional life and through community support. She has been able to lead the Iron County Utah Autism Support Group and serve on the board of Gateway Preparatory Academy.
