A discussion with Heather Martin about life after surviving mass tragedy and trauma and how she is helping other survivors. Heather and fellow survivors of various events volunteer to bring hope to other survivors through The Rebels Project, the largest peer support group in the nation. With the power of peer support and connection, The Rebels Project provides a light at the end of the tunnel for those suffering in silence. Ultimately, more emphasis is needed on the long-term needs of survivors.

Heather Martin is co-founder and Executive Director of The Rebels Project, named after the Columbine mascot, that supports survivors of trauma resulting from school shootings and other traumatic incidents. Heather was two days away from her 18th birthday when the shooting occurred during her senior year at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. After barricading in a small office for three hours, a SWAT group rescued her and the other students. Heather returned home physically uninjured, but the effects of the trauma she experienced that day continued to impact her in the following years. With The Rebels Project, Heather has traveled to impacted communities to connect with survivors and help provide insight into the journey toward recovery and healing, and The Rebels Project hosts an annual Survivor Retreat where survivors from around the country come together for a long weekend of healing and connection. As a national speaker, she advocates for informed responses to traumatic events from the perspective of a survivor and currently resides in Colorado where she teaches high school English in Aurora, CO.
