In this heartfelt episode, Megan Quintana, Licensed Practical Nurse at Havenwood Academy, opens up about her unique path into trauma-informed care for adolescent girls.
Growing up in a foster home that welcomed teenage girls, Megan shares how those early experiences drew her to psychiatric nursing, why even the smallest nursing moments (like pulling out a sliver) can become profound healing connections, and what “world-class” trauma treatment really feels like on the ground.
From emotional parent thank-yous to the magic of Wednesday Sandwich Day and Havenwood’s relentless culture of continuous improvement, this conversation is full of hope and humanity.
Essential listening for parents, clinicians, and anyone who believes compassionate care can change (and save) young lives.
