My work is not open source or free to reuse. These boundaries affirm the worth of lived experience, trauma-informed care authorship, and original contribution.
My materials may not be used to train, prompt, or feed AI models; republished or adapted without written consent; extracted into other tools, frameworks, curricula, or materials; redistributed within institutions or organizations; or used beyond the scope of an original agreement.

Why These Boundaries Matter
These boundaries are not theoretical. They come from lived experience.
I was excluded by systems that did not understand me. My work through Second Chance to Live seeks to help build systems that empower and support the whole person — mind, body, spirit, soul, and emotions.
This work represents decades of lived recovery, public authorship and education, keynote presentations, visual learning resources, trauma-informed care materials, and the development of The Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™.
Open to Ethical Partnership
I remain open to collaborative opportunities when they align with the ethical and trauma-informed care values guiding my work.
I do not offer free content, licensing, or ongoing access in exchange for “visibility,” exposure, or unpaid partnership.
Collaborative opportunities are evaluated individually, with respect for authorship, usage boundaries, and financial equity.
