Presenters/Speakers

Kelly Friesen

Registered Public Health Nurse
Kelly Friesen, a Registered Public Health Nurse with over three decades of experience, has dedicated her career to advocating for others in both acute care and community settings. Her journey into autism advocacy began in 2001 when her son was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, leading her to educate herself and others, earning autism certification through the Autism Society of Minnesota in 2016. In 2022, she founded Friesen Holistic Services LLC, pioneering Nurse Advocate Services to enhance life skills and foster independence for neurodiverse individuals. Her advocacy extends to roles like the Minnesota Waiver Reimagine Advisory Committee and testimony before the Minnesota Senate Human Services Committee. Kelly's work with law enforcement has been crucial for her son's development, and her informed policing instruction bridges understanding between the autism community and law enforcement, a connection deepened by her daughter's marriage to a police officer.
