“No person will ever be whole and dignified and free except in the knowledge that the people around him are whole and dignified and free, and that the world itself is free of contempt and misuse.” - Wendell Berry
Daniel Johnston has worked with young people and their families in a variety of contexts over the past 20 years. From running programs for at-risk boys in inner-city Chicago, to supporting orphans and their house parents as a social worker in Honduras, to leading in the push for holistic and wellbeing centered education in international schools around Europe, Daniel is passionate about building authentic human relationships and communities - families, schools, societies, etc. - directed towards a more healthy and peaceful world.
Currently, Daniel counsels adolescents and parents in the Vaud area and offers workshops and trainings for parents and schools.
Daniel received an M.A. in Pastoral Theology from K.U. Leuven in Belgium, completed a certificate in Counselling from Barnaby Training Center in the U.K., and did his undergraduate studies at the University of Notre Dame in the U.S. where he majored in the Program of Liberal Studies and minored in Peace Studies.
As an adult expat in Europe, he has come to realize that he grew up as a fully American Third Culture Kid in Montgomery, Alabama. He has lived in Honduras, Belgium, and now Switzerland since 2015. He is the father of three wonderful children.
