HISTORY
The need to create this nonprofit was first identified by its founder, Monica Boddie, MSW-LCSW-C, •CCTP, CGP in 2019. Also the founder of Transformation Health, LLC , a premier Outpatient Mental Health Clinic, that has been celebrated and recognized for its excellence in community services, advocacy, and client outcomes it was time to create a safe space for children affected by trauma. Ms. Boddie reports wanting to do even more for youth serviced at the clinic and in the community, after having experienced a traumatic event. She states, “I knew more was needed.
