Domestic violence recovery, applied women’s research, community transformation
Welcome! I’m Veronica Wren, displaced domestic violence survivor and former cop turned activist.
Your accidental trauma recovery expert, examining abusive systems and individuals harming our health.
10+ years deep in harmful relationships and oppressive criminal systems led me here: advocating for survivors, conducting research on women’s health, and building supportive coalitions in the face of the ongoing political crisis in the U.S.
My goal is to support survivors recovering from violence through accessible research, tools, and community.
