Staff have recently participated in local and statewide opportunities to share about Christ’s Haven programs. Maddie Churchman, VP of Programs, gave a presentation to the Texas Council of Child Welfare Boards. She was able to share with the boards about Christ’s Haven’s trauma-informed, family model of care for displaced youth and how Christ’s Haven can serve as an option outside of traditional foster care. Texas Council of Child Welfare Boards’ (TCCWB) mission is to support a statewide network of volunteers concerned with the welfare of children, especially those suffering from abuse and neglect. Dr. Vivian Dorsett, College & Career Readiness Manager, attended the Texas Network of Youth Services (TNOYS) Town Hall in Tarrant County along with a young adult from Christ’s Haven’s supervised independent program. They were both able to share perspectives about the experiences and needs for young adults aging out of foster care. |
