Diagnosed with PTSD and MDD, and managing to get a Ph.D.: Helen Abdali Soosan Fagan at TEDxLincoln

Helen Fagan has over 25 years of experience in the Human Resource Field and has been on every non-profit board you can think of in Lincoln. She was instrumental in the development of the Interpreter Training Program at Southeast Community College, and has helped address numerous employment and healthcare needs of refugees and immigrants in our community.
And then in 2007 it all changed. Helen was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Severe Clinical Depression. Helen's health caused her life to take a major detour.
Helen will share the pain, lessons and insights, in hopes of inspiring others to open their minds to new possibilities.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
