VISION
Our goal is to serve one million children nationwide who have been affected by trauma by connecting them to a variety of resources needed to promote stabilization as they begin the process of healing.
HISTORY
The need to create this nonprofit was first identified by its founder, Monica Boddie, MSW-LCSW-C, •CCTP, CGP in 2019. Also the founder of Transformation Health, LLC , a premier Outpatient Mental Health Clinic, that has been celebrated and recognized for its excellence in community services, advocacy, and client outcomes it was time to create a safe space for children affected by trauma. Ms. Boddie reports wanting to do even more for youth serviced at the clinic and in the community, after having experienced a traumatic event. She states, “I knew more was needed. I kept thinking, what about the additional need for clothes, food, and other items the family may need? Items and other supports that can be given and achieved through a nonprofit.”
Transformation Nation, Inc., is beyond ecstatic to create solutions and be the change agents needed to champion our children, during their most vulnerable time.
