We are excited to begin another year of History. Culture. Trauma.! We kick the year off with a conversation with CTIPP's Jesse Kohler.
This episode is dedicated to the work of the Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy & Practice, known as CTIPP. CTIPP's mission is to create a healthy, just, resilient, and trauma-informed society where all individuals, families, and communities have the social, political, cultural, economic, and spiritual opportunities and support necessary to thrive.
Our host, Ingrid Cockhren, will talk with Jesse Kohler, Executive Director of CTIPP. Serving as CTIPP’s Executive Director on loan, Jesse is in charge of organizational administration and HR, fundraising, strategic planning, public engagements, and working to create conditions of safety and empowerment for the board, staff, and volunteers in their roles with the organization.
Jesse is on loan from The Change Campaign, which is a nonprofit organization Jesse founded. The Change Campaign is a multi-pronged initiative to build community and systemic capacity by facilitating the application of the science of developmental adversity and its progression through the lifespan and generations to enable initiatives that improve holistic well-being and provide strategic support to government agencies and organizations focused in aligned areas. Above all else, Jesse has always had a strong vision for change that would make our world a better place for all.
Born and raised outside of Philadelphia, after graduating from Oberlin College, Jesse spent the first part of his career working for various nonprofits serving Philadelphia communities and at the state level for the Office of Attorney General and the Governor’s Campaign. While in graduate school, Jesse started with CTIPP as its first intern, then served as a board member for several years before becoming its first ED.
Jesse lives in Washington, D.C., with the love of his life Tina, their hamster Hamuel, guinea pigs Bryce and Jalen, stuffed animals, and many plants. Jesse enjoys time with his friends and family, playing golf and softball, watching professional sports, singing karaoke, Thursday night pilates, and barre, and watching his shows.
