Meet Deslie Bonano-Broussard (She/Her/Hers) from Slidell, LA.
What is your area of focus in social work practice?
My main area of focus is trauma therapy with women and children. I provide services to foster children within my practice and find our journey together to be one of growth and reward for both practitioner and client. As a component of this practice focus, I incorporate yoga as a means of teaching introspection and finding safe space and self -acceptance within the body.
What has been the highlight of your experience at TSSW?
The highlight of my Tulane School of Social Work experience has been my professors. Re-entering school after 21 years evoked fear and anxiety. The professors have all been so supportive and encouraging that I quickly learned I could successfully walk this journey. Their caring interactions with students have further supported my future aspirations to be an educator.
