Congratulations Christina Grim for Receiving Clinical Professional of the Year!

by

Starfish Family Services’ very own Christina Grim, who serves as our Director of Clinical and Trauma Services, was honored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Michigan as their 2017 Clinical Professional of the Year! With her hard work to bring Trauma-Informed care to Michigan, and her efforts to bridge the gap between mental health and early childhood education by championing the adoption of the Trauma Smart model at Starfish, we’re happy to know that her work is being recognized and that Christina is considered a Hero of Mental Health!
