Kirsten Pabst is a keynote speaker throughout the United States instilling a culture of wellbeing for lawyers, law enforcement, and first responders. Her work inspires those in the trenches to find and tap into the internal well of resilience in the face of daily exposure to humanity’s worst. She recently retired as a three-term elected prosecutor in Montana jurisdiction, after a thirty-year career in criminal justice. She’s received several national awards for her work in secondary trauma, post traumatic growth, organizational resilience, and responsible justice reform, and was the founding chair of the National District Attorneys’ Prosecutor Wellbeing Taskforce.
“Kirsten Pabst is a pioneer in wellbeing training and education. Kirsten provides authentic, real-world experience and best practices on personal, professional and organizational development, and overall health.” Mary Ashley, DDA, Peer Support Coordinator, San Bernardino
