UNDERSTANDING FOR HOPE




Hope Clinic here in Tokmok had a very special guest today. Dr. Jordan Greenbaum gave a lecture there this afternoon for a number of doctors and nurses. The focus of the lecture was on the effects of trauma on brain development. For the staff to be able to better understand what's often happening in the lives of many children that come to the clinic was truly a blessing.
Even though many of the medical words were hard to get your tongue around, the slides and straight forward explanation captured the attention of the participants.
What started as more of a formal lecture, ended with lots of questions and discussions. it's hard to estimate the value of such a presentation: the seeds that were planted today, the questions that will continue to be asked and the subsequent positive impact on children and families.
Thank you Dr. Jordan. Your heart to serve is only surpassed by your actions in doing so.
