Barbara works with foster and adoptive parents, kinship care givers, teachers, social workers, court personnel—anyone who cares for children impacted by trauma. She is now broadening her scope of services to families of origin with the Making Sense of Your Worth and Parenting for Positive Self Worth programs, curriculums that help teens and adults heal from their relational wounds. Every child, every adult, needs to feel seen, heard and valued. She wants to help people see their value and heal from the trauma that stole that from them.
