We were invited to present on Trauma-Informed Care for Juvenile Justice Staff by Jarrett Ballo, Chief Probation Officer at the Department of Juvenile Justice.
We focused on enhancing the team’s understanding of trauma and its impact on youth involved in juvenile justice, taught skills to support resilience and foster healing, and promoted trauma-informed practices to improve youth outcomes and reduce retraumatization. We had a wonderful time learning from one another and hope to continue collaborating in the future!

Proud moments in Tallahassee ✨
Our CEO Stephen Fancher, Chief Program Officer Dr. Kristin Hoffman, and Clinical Director Chelsea Hernandez, represented All Star Children’s Foundation at Children’s Week at the Capitol, meeting with our local delegation to advocate for children and families impacted by foster care.
When clinical insight and child welfare leadership come together at the policy table, real change becomes possible.
We are committed not only to serving children in our community on our Campus of Hope and Healing, but also to shaping the future of foster care across Florida. ⭐️
