Testimonial Head Shot.

"I have to tell you what a rewarding experience it has been for me to participate in the Trauma Certificate Program. I look not only at social work but also at the world in a whole new way as a result of what I've learned, and I find myself sharing this new knowledge, this new perspective, with others."
— Janice Carello, LMSW
