Meet our Florida 2026 Keynote and Breakout Speaker

Keynote Speaker: Stacey Gagnon

Stacey Gagnon is a foster and adoptive mom, registered nurse, international speaker, educator, and children’s book author. She co-founded Lost Sparrows, Inc., a nonprofit teaching about the effects of trauma and early childhood adversity since 2016, and created Trauma Lens Care to help first responders and schools better support kids impacted by trauma.

Stacey shares insights and stories from her family’s journey on social media, where she encourages others navigating foster care, adoption, and trauma-informed parenting. When she’s not speaking or training across the U.S. and Europe, she enjoys running, lifting weights, hiking the Grand Canyon (yes, really), restoring vintage finds in her historic home—and starting every day with a strong cup of good coffee.
