About Caroline Cole
After experiencing 2 ½ years in a lockdown behavior modification facility in the back country of New York, Caroline spent the next years of her life searching for a semblance of normalcy. Having experienced homelessness, poverty, addiction, and domestic abuse, a deep mission to help others became the central goal of Caroline’s life.
She believes that under the tenets of trauma-informed policy and community-focused healing we can provide young people the resources and opportunity for equity, growth, and joy.
As the Co-CEO of Unsilenced, Caroline draws on her lived experience and former tenure with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and her former position as the Dir. of Policy for Breaking Code Silence. In this role, she shapes organizational initiatives and projects, overseeing a team of 60+ volunteers, to drive policy change and reform across public sectors involving mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, disability rights, and youth rights.
Caroline has channeled her passion into several podcasts and feels through the union of impact-driven media and policy change we can give voices to the silenced and drive societal change. When she’s not entrenched in developing new projects, Caroline can be found testing new recipes in the kitchen with her 3 kiddos or petting puppies (or any animals!) at the local humane society shelter.
Program and speakers subject to change.
