Love Never Quits - RAD in Foster Care with Gina Heumann

Gina is a mom who has overcome enormous challenges to help my child heal from trauma. Her boys were adopted from Guatemala, and her youngest was neglected by his foster mom before they got him. This trauma resulted in severe anger, anxiety, and violence, which made her afraid of her own child. He would frequently destroy property, punch holes in the walls, and try to hurt them. He was eventually diagnosed with RAD. In 6th grade they hit "rock bottom", which involved getting kicked out of school, sent to the juvenile assessment center, appearance in court, summer of community service, and probation. After discovering a new school designed for kids with social and behavioral issues and doing family-intensive therapy, her son slowly healed and he is doing really well now.    She wrote a book, Love Never Quits, about their journey and have dedicated part of her life to helping other trauma mamas. She writes a blog, recently did a TEDx, and has been working on developing an online class for parents of kids healing from trauma. This experience has altered the course of her life in so many ways, but now my goal is to help others and spread the word about the devastating effects of abuse or neglect on children.
