with practical strategies to foster resilience and healing\u00a0in children and families. This powerful event laid the foundation for understanding the science of hope\u00a0and how it intersects with\u00a0trauma-informed care, equipping attendees with\u00a0evidence-based strategies to support and empower children\u00a0and families in need. Texas CASA staff walked away with valuable tools and perspectives on building resilience in both children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to send a special shout-out of thanks to President &amp; CEO of Child Advocates of Montgomery County Ann Marie Ronsman, Dr. Chan Hellman and Dr. Angela Pharris for spearheading and sharing this incredibly important, astonishing work. We are deeply grateful for this experience and especially to the Child Advocates of Montgomery County for hosting this powerful gathering of changemakers, advocates and community leaders.
