In this episode of Community Conversations with Dr. Jill Bowen, I spend some time with Antonio Valdés.
Antonio (Tony) Valdés is the CEO of Children’s Crisis Treatment Center (CCTC), a non-profit agency specializing in providing behavioral health services to Philadelphia’s children and their families. Since joining CCTC in 1997, Tony and his team have increased the number of children and families they serve from 250 annually; to over 2400 children and families across the greater Philadelphia community..
Tony shares how CCTC implemented the Sanctuary Model with great impact. The Sanctuary Model is a “research-informed, trauma-responsive training model serving human impact agencies, social impact organizations, educators and communities.” Plus, Tony says when it comes to working with kids and families, focusing on the future is an important piece that cannot be forgotten.
I hope you enjoy the conversation. Be well Philadelphia.
