Presentation of Northeast Youth and Family Services <br />33 <br />34 Jerry Hromatka, President and CEO of Northeast Youth and Family Services made a <br />35 presentation to the City Council. <br />36 <br />37 Councilmember Webster expressed her thanks to Mr. Hromatka for his long-time commitment to <br />38 the St.Anthony-New Brighton Family Services Collaborative. She thought when looking at the <br />39 mission of the organization and talking about meeting the unmet developmental needs of youth <br />40 and families, in terms of talking about trauma informed practice and shifting the practices not <br />41 only in mental health but also in School Districts away from "what is wrong with you" to "what <br />42 happened to you" and then the other piece the really resonates with her is the talk about family <br />43 focus and what they know is that children's needs are best met when parents needs are met. She <br />44 congratulated Mr. Hromatka on his upcoming retirement. <br />45 <br />46 Councilmember Jenson appreciated the fact that Mr. Hromatka has been on this board for so <br />47 many years and spent so much time and effort and the presentations are always enlightening and <br />48 worthwhile. <br />49 <br />
