I am currently completing a term of service as the senior program consultant for the Waterbury Community Action Agency, New Opportunities Inc., as the Director of Special Projects focusing on developing a business oriented marketing service to a major non-profit Community Action Agency. I have over ten years experience delivering public and mental health perspectives regarding community violence as the lead training and technical assistance provider for Safe Start Demonstration sites for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OjjDP) programs at some of the 15 national sites in the U.S. I have worked in Dallas for the Safe Start Initiative and with the emergency response groups for the National Association of school Response Officers (law enforcement). The Safe Start grant recipients included urban, rural and Native American tribal communities, in an effort to develop “best practice” models of social service programs to children and families to decrease the negative effects of childhood exposure to violence and to increase healthy lifestyle commitment among tribal and rural communities. The technical assistance provided to the sites was primarily directed to developing collaborative relationships within communities to address multiple negative outcomes of unhealthy lifestyles and community poverty. The Yale Child Study Center was originally selected primarily for It police/mental health collaborative cross-training program-Child Development-Community Policing (CD-CP). I was the director of Training and Curriculum for CD-CP prior to the launch of the Safe Start Initiative.
