Sylvia Rockwell

Sylvia Rockwell dedicated her career to working with children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders as well as those in at-risk settings. She has worked in wilderness, therapeutic camps; in classroom settings; and at the university level. In addition to her professional work, she is a mother, grandmother, and wife. Through her own personal work with therapists to address the impacts of trauma during her developmental years and her experiences with students over four decades of professional work and research, she knows the risks of emotional abuse and neglect from both sides of the desk. Invisible Shrapnel: The Legacy of Emotional Abuse is meant to both inform and inspire all to mindfully communicate with young people.
