SRQ Strong Poised for Greater Impact with First Executive Director

The Giving Coast

SRQ Strong, the regional nonprofit that is raising awareness of the impacts of trauma and fostering healing and resilience across the Suncoast region, has launched a new phase of activity and impact.  The organization hired Tom Edwards as its first executive director.  Edwards began serving in the role in late August. Seventy percent of the general population will experience at least one traumatic event during their lifetime. “Our vision is to create a community that cares for itself, where neighbors support each other, regardless of differences,” said Dr. Andrea Blanch, founder and board chair of SRQ Strong.  “We’ve built a groundswell of engaged citizens and organizations that want to bring healing from trauma to all corners of our community.  Tom Edwards is the right leader to elevate our impact.”
