My mission is simple: 

 

To ensure that no child in foster care ever feels like they are invaluable and have no future. 

🧸 Working with Foster Care agencies and Foster Parents through Kits of Hope has taught me that the solution is multi pronged:

​

🧸 Foster Care agencies/child welfare staff need support with practical training aimed at addressing brain health and healing from trauma for children.

​

🧸 Foster Parents need to be empowered to understand how to care for children who have been traumatized and how to help the children in their care heal from trauma.

​

🧸 Schools need support to ensure that the socio- emotional/cognitive needs of the children are being met through Brain Health Training for Educators.

 

This realization has led me to create a framework that provides evidence based, practical training on how to harness the brain’s amazing flexibility to build resilience and optimize physical and brain health for child welfare/fostercare agencies, schools and foster parents so that the children in foster care can receive whole child care at the highest level.
