Branson is the wife of Alan and mom to Anna Judith “AJ” and Noah—two gifts of grace—and mother-in-law to Jesus-loving Isaac, who makes her daughter’s heart go pitter-patter. She is a professor of social work at Southeast Missouri State University. Before teaching full-time, she was a practicing licensed clinical social worker, with more than twenty-five years of experience with substance-use disorders, mental health, co-occurring disorders, and trauma-informed care. Dana has a PhD in psychology, a master’s of social work, and a bachelor’s of science in psychology and sociology. She regularly serves as a conference presenter discussing vicarious and secondary traumas, adverse childhood events (ACE), substance-use disorder topics, the importance of school social workers, and a variety of other topics. Dana has also had the privilege of participating in international social work opportunities in Ireland, Brazil, and Belarus. When not grading papers or trying to write for publications as a professor, she enjoys walking, snuggling on the couch with her husband and watching movies, and traveling. She has an affinity for Scotland, Hamish Macbeth, and Southwest Baptist University—go Bearcats! She is also an honorary roadie/groupie for the musical talents of her banjo-playing husband.view less
