Who we are

Our founding board brings lived experience, systems thinking, and complementary strengths to the early building of TEFI. With research vision, careful financial stewardship, and a strong technical backbone working together, we are laying the foundation for an institute dedicated to trauma, executive functioning, and neurodivergence.
