Dr. Heather Walter talks about CF and Post Traumatic Stress

Dr. Heather Walter is a CF Mom.  I first heard Heather speak at a Mom's retreat in 2021 (via zoom). I was so impressed with her I asked her to speak on this podcast.

She is the Director of the School of Communication at The University of Akron and a professor of organizational communication.

Dr. Walter’s research is focused in the area of organizational communication and conflict, with a focus

on health organizations and post-trauma health communication. She has published many journal articles

and chapters on this topic, including several case studies designed to show the applied nature of

communication research. She has a textbook in press and available in January 2022, titled “Casing

Conflict Communication.” She currently serves as a faculty fellow for the Center for Conflict

Management and works regularly with local community organizations and hospitals to improve

communication skills and patient advocacy.
