Program Director Fanny Correa is a master level clinical social worker and certified traumatologist who joined our program three years ago when she relocated to Seattle from Miami, Florida. She provides crisis intervention, debriefings, individual and group therapy for adults and children whose loved ones have died as a result of a sudden, violent death. She is also a trainer for the community, organizations and professionals on trauma and sudden violent death's impact on families, caregivers and communities. She recently joined a group of colleagues in private practice. She has been involved in several victims' task forces, is a board member for the Washington Coalition of Crime Victim Advocates and volunteers her services as board secretary. She also has a BS in Business and a strong background in administration. Fanny enjoys the outdoors, and since her arrival has been exploring the great Northwest. Program Coordinator Laura Jeffs, BA (Business), joined Separation and Loss Services two years ago and has assumed increasing responsibility in administrative coordination of the many projects and grants that flow through the department. In her spare time, she indulges her love of animals as a pet sitter specializing in the feline persuasion. |
