Susan K. Taylor
Training Coordinator, Consortium for Resource, Adoptive, and Foster Family Training (CRAFFT) at Radford University
Susan K. Taylor, M.S., has served as a Training Coordinator with the Consortium for Resource, Adoptive, and Foster Family Training (CRAFFT) at Radford University since 2011, where she delivers training and technical support to child-serving agencies, parents, and professionals. Holding a master’s in Child & Family Studies from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and a bachelor’s in Psychology and Sociology from Davidson College, she brings lived kinship experience in what it means to be forever family.
She continues her post-graduate work from The School of Life, where she majors in humor and humility, with minors in love, loss, and letting go, accumulated over many years as a “trauma mama.” She believes that, in a world of uncertainties, children and youth are still our investments. It is not always easy, but they are always worth it.
