How to Authentically Cope with HOPE! Lisa Leshko Evers

Lisa Leshko Evers, MA, BSN, RN has enjoyed 35 years of nursing practice with a focus in Emergency Nursing and Addiction Medicine. When the FDA approved opioids for children (ages 11-17), she began asking new questions about pain and listening deeply. After years of study, “Comfort Quest” was born- a transformative, hopeful lens through which pain is viewed as a healing messenger (no longer the enemy). As a veteran herself (retiring after 32 years from the Coast Guard Reserve), Lisa seeks to use this tool/ program to also help other veterans struggling with pain and has partnered with her community to resurrect hope, empower healing, & decrease suicides. To relax & rebalance her own body/ mind/ spirit, Lisa enjoys digging in her garden, repurposing found items, and spending quality time with family (locally in FL and in New England).
