I live in Philadelphia and I am a curriculum developer, trainer, author and consultant on issues related to childhood trauma, child welfare, juveniles justice, education and related fields. I am also a caregiving parent. I provide trainings across the country and locally have provided several for The PA Council on Children, Youth and Family Services (PCCYFS) agencies, DHS, and Mental Health Partnerships as well as a few Philadelphia schools and Head Start organizations. I have also worked closely over the years with Multiplying Connections and was part of the team and co-author of some of their curricula. I would love to work with more local agencies as I sit here at the Philly airport waiting to board a plane so I can go and do trauma training in Virginia, Denver, Arkansas and NYC in the next two weeks alone! I am also author of a workbook for adults caring for children who have experienced trauma entitled "Building Bridges of Hope" and together with my daughter, artist Chelsea Badeau, we provide resiliency and vicarious trauma workshops involving multi-sensory approaches including art and music.
