Lindsey Mack Schneider, LISW, is committed to building healthier communities through trauma-informed care. With dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Business Administration from St. Ambrose University, she brings both clinical experience and systems-level leadership to her work with NAMI Greater Mississippi Valley.

Lindsey believes that a truly healthy community is one that understands and responds to the impact of trauma. She began her career as a therapist working with children and adolescents experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression before transitioning into a systems-level role focused on broader community change.

In her current position as Trauma Informed Care Systems Coordinator and Change Agent, Lindsey facilitates the Quad Cities Trauma Informed Consortium, partnering with organizations across healthcare, education, criminal justice, and social services to integrate trauma-informed practices into their systems. She also teaches in the Master of Social Work program at St. Ambrose University, supporting the development of future social workers and mental health professionals.

Lindsey’s work is driven by a belief that every person we encounter is carrying experiences we may not fully see, and that communities thrive when care, understanding, and trauma-informed practices are embedded at every level.

Outside of work, Lindsey enjoys reading, coloring, traveling, and attending concerts and music festivals. She values time spent being social and connected with others, and finds energy in both creative and community experiences.
