“In my professional work as a psychologist, I learned about the powerful negative effects that trauma can have on youth and adults. CCFH provides greatly needed, evidence-based services to treat young people as well as community-based prevention programs to lower the risk of future trauma. It is hard for me to think of a more important or valuable organization affecting the lives of children in our community than CCFH, and I hope to contribute to its continued positive impact.”
