Our team, along with our Executive Director, Jennie Noll, PhD, are committed to reducing the devastating impact of childhood trauma, especially child maltreatment. We aim to support children and families as they work toward short and long-term psychological and physical well-being and desired developmental outcomes, all while honoring their histories, life experiences, and cultural wealth.
