CALM envisions safe communities where every family is supported and every child thrives. Jackie was not ready to become a parent.

Imagine a world where all parents are supported and all children thrive. After her baby was born, she was so depressed, she didn't want to leave the house. She could barely look at her baby, and resented him every time he cried. Fortunately, a CALM home visitor met Jackie and got her help for her depression. The CALM worker taught Jackie how important speaking, singing and reading is to her baby's developing brain. Jackie learned about child development and appropriate expectations. Today, Jackie and her son have a happy, healthy relations and they are both thriving. CALM....protecting the most important relationship in the world.

A culture of continuous learning is part of what makes CALM special. Our Senior Manager of Clinical Advancement, Yvonne, attended this year's EMDR International Association Conference and brought what she learned back to our therapy team so our clients can benefit from the latest in trauma-informed care.

An investment in our team is an investment in the families they support.
