They each bring a diverse set of skills, expertise, and experience from sectors such as government, nonprofit, mental health, and private practice. By leveraging our expertise and networks, our board will be able to transform the way generations view childhood trauma, abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. We appreciate each one of them and we love them and their great service.
