“It is a dream to create Beyond the Cell, healing scars of prison and building new paths.”
PROJECT
Beyond the Cell
Nicole Tetreault is a neuroscientist, researcher, author, meditation teacher, and national speaker. While Tetreault has experience using her skills in neuroscience, she is particularly excited to combine her passions to help people who are suffering.
She plans to use the Chang Prize funding to develop an educational program to help incarcerated women who may be suffering from physical, mental, and emotional trauma.
“I am honored and full of gratitude to be a recipient of the Milton and Rosalind Chang Career Exploration Prize,” Tetreault says. “This opportunity provides imaginative freedom to create “Beyond the Cell,” a transformative program to rehabilitate incarcerated women through teaching guided meditation, neuroscience, literature, and expressive writing to cultivate positive neural, mental, and behavioral patterns for healing.”
