For over 2 decades, Lori Morgan has been an advocate for wellness and a voice for the silenced. She has worked directly with children and families facing   all sorts of barriers, and has also rendered her expertise to youth in various residential and  community programs. Being an Addiction Counsellor, she brings in the elements of integrity, genuine curiosity and a trauma informed perspective to all her counselling and facilitation sessions while working with survivors of domestic abuse and their children.

Lori’s approach with clients is to help them understand their emotions, to gain insight and to explore new ways of moving forward. She has recently developed and facilitated an Anger Management program described by one participant as ‘life changing’. She is also the author of “Healing the Bruises – an engaging graphic novel that makes the children’s experience, of  searching for and restoring peace in a troubled family, understandable and positive.

Lori uses a holistic, solution focused, cognitive based perspective in her work. Her goal is always to support the client’s journey towards self-realization so they can make conscious  choices about the kind of life they want to lead.

 Although she has worked and lived, in many major cities including Toronto, Montreal and New York, Lori very happily refers to Halifax as “home” for the past eleven years. In 2012,   Lori was awarded the “Ministers Award for Leadership in Crime Prevention” for her book “Healing the Bruises”.

“Lori Morgan’s touching and insightful book dealing with domestic abuse is an anthem of sorts, giving voice to those who find themselves  without one. Beautiful illustrations along with the straightforward text allow the child and the parent to relate to the entire story, like an  ode to wellness and renewal. This little book  will lift and enlighten.”
