Genna Green, the acclaimed author of Surviving and Thriving: A Practical Guide to Parenting Through Domestic Abuse, has been honored with the Best Author on Child and Youth Trauma and Recovery in 2025 award. This recognition highlights her exceptional work in providing support, guidance, and healing strategies for children and families affected by trauma, particularly those impacted by domestic violence.

A Comprehensive Approach to Trauma Recovery

As an author, domestic violence expert, and founder of Child and Youth Partnerships, Genna has dedicated over 14 years to working with survivors and their families. Her professional background spans shelters, transitional housing programs, crisis support lines, and domestic violence organizations in both the U.S. and the UK, giving her a unique, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective on the needs of families navigating trauma recovery.

Genna’s groundbreaking book, Surviving and Thriving, is a critical resource for parents facing the challenges of domestic violence. It offers clear, evidence-based strategies for trauma-informed parenting, focusing on how parents can protect their children emotionally and create safe, supportive environments while managing their own healing processes. Through practical steps and real-life examples, Genna empowers families to build emotional resilience and navigate recovery with confidence.

Empowering Families and Professionals

Genna’s work extends beyond her book. Through Child and Youth Partnerships, she offers personalized consultations, workshops, and early intervention programs that help parents and youth address trauma, heal, and develop long-term resilience. Her holistic approach to recovery is grounded in the belief that healing is a lifelong process, and she offers families the tools and support necessary to create lasting change.
