Meet Leslie

Through continued study and healing in her own life, she has discovered the plague that intergenerational trauma passes to families. She has learned that understanding the impact it has on the lives of each family member can begin the process of healing and forgiveness. Because of her personal experience in these areas, and through her many contacts, she has found that an epidemic number of people have experienced some form of abuse in their childhood. Sadly, many don’t realize the long-term cost abuse and trauma have on their lives and the resulting effect it has on the choices they make as adults. Consequently, they often suffer with poor self-image, depression, substance abuse, relational dysfunction, and worse, the generational passing of the trauma baton.  Ms. Dean is also a conference leader and presents workshops where people find help and hope in understanding how their past does not have to define their future. She has also served since 2009 as the Regional Coordinator in Maryland and Delaware for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. Leslie has been instrumental in helping educate and mobilize people in both states to speak out about their abortion pain. For seven years she served as the nurse manager in a Maryland pregnancy center, performing ultrasounds on their patients, until she retired in 2023.  In 2022, she joined forces with four other passionate, pro-life people to form a Board of Directors to birth a brand-new pregnancy care clinic in Seaford, DE, Her Care Clinic. She continues to enjoy assisting with ultrasounds for their clients.
