Bonnie is a well-respected educator and advocate for those living with the impacts of childhood trauma, including dissociative identity disorder and other trauma responses.

Pasadena Village programming is organized by Villagers in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Fellow Villager Karen Bagnard worked with Bonnie to plan this event to bring to light often unseen and stigmatized mental health challenges.
