She thought when looking at the 38 <br />mission of the organization and talking about meeting the unmet developmental needs of youth 39 <br />and families, in terms of talking about trauma informed practice and shifting the practices not 40 <br />only in mental health but also in School Districts away from “what is wrong with you” to “what 41 <br />happened to you” and then the other piece the really resonates with her is the talk about family 42 <br />focus and what they know is that children’s needs are best met when parents needs are met. She 43 <br />congratulated Mr. Hromatka on his upcoming retirement. 44 <br />45 <br />Councilmember Jenson appreciated the fact that Mr. Hromatka has been on this board for so 46 <br />many years and spent so much time and effort and the presentations are always enlightening and 47 <br />worthwhile. 48 <br />49 <br />1
