As colourful autumn leaves and temperatures drop, there is change on the horizon. After more than 5 years in the post, Karen Smith will be retiring from her role as Executive Director at Thrive Child and Youth Trauma Services at the end of this month.
“I am tremendously proud of the work our team has done over these past 5 years. Focusing on a clear vision, we expanded programs to serve more young people and their families. Highlights of our accomplishments included agency re-branding, a physical relocation to better and more accessible space, and the growth of our supports for refugee and immigrant youngsters who have been affected by trauma.
So many people helped to make this a very rewarding period in my career, and I hope to stay in touch with many of them. Hamilton has been very supportive of this organization, and I know that will continue. It’s such important work.”
Karen will now turn her attention to other projects and interests, and will return to active consulting work.
