EP 76 | The Overlooked Mental Health Crisis Of Incarceration

Season 4 Premiere LIVE Wednesday Oct 1st 830pm EST on YOUTUBE!

Special Guest: Shawanna Vaughn, founder of Silent Cry Inc.

Born in prison to an incarcerated mother, Shawanna’s life embodies the generational impact of the justice system. Today, she is a nationally recognized advocate bringing attention to Post Traumatic Prison Disorder (PTPD) a condition she has fought to have acknowledged as a public health crisis.

Tune in as we discuss:

️ The overlooked mental health crisis of incarceration: Why PTPD must be recognized alongside PTSD. ️ Breaking cycles of violence and recidivism: How trauma-informed care can transform reentry and reduce repeat offenses. ️ Policy and practice reform: Why correctional staff need trauma training to create safer, more humane systems. ️ A survivor’s perspective: How her lived experience fuels Silent Cry Inc.’s mission to heal families and communities.
