Jennifer Ryan

Jennifer Ryan is the founder of Pathways to Resilience and serves as a Strategic Advisor to the initiative. She concurrently serves as the Executive Vice President of Aurrera Health Group where, from 2019 – 2022, she led the California ACEs Aware initiative on behalf of the Office of the California Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke Harris and the California Department of Health Care Services.

The work on ACEs Aware, combined with a newfound and personal understanding of how our experiences in childhood can affect our long-term health and well-being, is what inspired her to continue working to promote healing and resilience. Jennifer’s goal is for Pathways to Resilience to achieve a national recognition of the importance of preventing and addressing trauma for families across the country.
