Karin has demonstrated her extensive knowledge about the dynamics of relationships as it pertains to children and adults, in particular from my perspective, for foster care children who have experienced trauma which is often played out in their behaviors. Karin has a keen sense of what is driving the child's behaviors (which are often quite challenging) as well as the skills and tools needed by foster parents and facility (example, group home settings) staff who work with these children on a daily basis. Her ideas regarding the array of services and treatment for Florida's Foster Care System is appreciated and was the cornerstone of the Residential Workgroup discussions. Karin is extremely skilled in program development and foster parent training.
