CEO, CYCA
Tracy Pike MBE
I recently received an MBE for 40 years services to children and their families!
I have been CEO for 21 years and its been an eventful journey, I wish I had written my memoirs!
In my previous life I was a secondary school teacher for 12 years, taking a career break to raise my family. I have a son Jamie 30 years old who is a Police officer and a daughter Lowri 25, who is Teacher in Chicago .
My passion is about helping individuals to become more resilient , having trained hundreds of clients over 25 years. More recently I have written the resiliency units for level 1 and level 2 Agored Cymru as well as a new training manual for Mentor Mams, supporting mothers to become volunteer family support mams to others.
My work has been featured on radio and television and I also sit on advisory committees for emotional well being.
When I am not in work I love travelling anywhere and eating anything ! The other love of my life is my Jug dog Frank who I adore.
My motto is 'no one can make you feel inferior without your consent'
