Dr. Jaynee Poulson
Jaynee is the Vice President of Community Engagement and brings Addiction Unplugged into the communities while working on the strategic development of this A&E series.
Her recent TEDx on how to give pain a REAL purpose was inspired by the Surgeon General’s call to action asking America for help with an “urgent health crisis” along with her desire to have open discussions to help remove stigmas around mental health.
She has an Executive Leadership certificate from Cornell University, is a nationally certified Professional Parent Trainer, and she is a Master Fundraiser that works with communities to give back to nonprofits. She teaches feminism at the University, continues to volunteer in the youth detention center and Utah State Prison for the REAL Transition for Women program she piloted.
