LEADERSHIP IN ACTION 

» “Their willingness to fully participate in family sessions and their trust in me from the start set such a strong example for Devin and Tamia that it was okay to participate and it was okay to trust me.” Julia praises Lavette and Dwayne’s commitment. “We are able to talk more openly about each child’s adoption journey, filling in a lot of blanks that were causing them stress and anxiety.”

»“Lavette grew as an advocate for Devin’s needs,”Julia says, and she sought additional training and information on her own. “She participates in the parent support groups and the group facilitator says she is valued as a member of the group.” Lavette shares that the time she spent on finding services for Devin and Tamia led her to becoming a social worker.
