Julie Johnson, M. Ed. ATS

I am a freelance facilitator and learning experience platform designer focusing on human-centered communication inspired by Trauma Informed Care with expertise in building performance-based vetting systems for digital communities. I am currently working on my second master's degree in digital curriculum design and digital publishing with a focus on accessibility, creating performance-based vetting systems based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Results will follow when we customize our instructional designs to meet real people's learning needs. I hold an M.Ed in Assistive Technology with specialties in Universal Design for Learning, Project Based Learning Curriculum Design and Instructional Design.

Candice Cox, LCSW

Candice E. Cox, LCSW is the Founder and Clinical Director of “A&A Inspirations” and Executive Director of “KHAOS(™) Inc”. Candice holds a BSW from Southeast Missouri State University and a Masters from St. Louis University. She is a phenomenal author, motivational speaker, therapist, trainer, consultant and supervisor to the next generation of clinical professionals.

Since 2004, Candice has moved out of her passion to assist all individuals by creating the KHAOS(™) (Keep Healing and Overcoming Struggles) mindset. The KHAOS(™) mindset uses a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Relationship Trauma Repair (RTR), and mindfulness to assist individuals with assessing, addressing, and reducing the effects of toxic and traumatic stress in their lives. Candice is a self proclaimed KHAOS(™) kid while growing up with her own challenges with attention, being abandoned by her father, and having a mother who lives with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), she developed the motto to live a life of KHAOS(™).

Candice is very passionate about meeting individuals where they are to assist them with getting to where they want to be in life. For this reason, she started implementing her Organized KHAOS(™)(™) program in schools and community centers to address the lack of social and emotional coping skills that were being taught both at home and educational environments.
