Show Notes

We have Monica Martinez, MPA, on the show today, to talk about her family’s experiences with foster care and adoption.  She is the Chief Executive Officer of Encompass Community Services, Santa Cruz County’s largest health and human services nonprofit, where she provides vision for large-scale change at the local level.  Being a parent is not easy, and being a parent of a child who has experienced trauma has its own challenges.  Monica speaks with us today about her own family.  Creating a safe, nurturing family environment is our topic of conversation today: feeling safe with our feelings, feeling accepted, having a sense of security, reducing the symptoms of trauma, and blossoming.  Join us for this insightful conversation.
