Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACES, can have a profound and lasting effect on children’s health and well-being. Oklahoma is 41st in the country for Adverse Childhood Experiences, and 21 percent of children in the state have experienced two or more ACEs.

As a licensed clinical social worker and a nationally certified expert in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, Christine provides expert insights and actionable strategies you can start implementing today to foster resilience and healing for our children.
