Celebrating 8 Years of Trauma‑Informed Impact🎉

For eight powerful years, Director Tucker and BOHEMIA Cares have been walking in alignment with the nation’s leading trauma‑informed care models — and building a standard of care rooted in community, culture, and lived experience.

National frameworks like those from SAMHSA and the American Academy of Pediatrics highlight the pillars of trauma‑informed practice: safety, trust, empowerment, collaboration, and cultural awareness. Today, we’re celebrating how BOHEMIA Cares’ work not only meets these standards — it embodies them.

How Director Tucker Leads With Trauma‑Informed Excellence 💚

✨ 1. Lived‑Experience Leadership
National models emphasize peer support and authentic connection. Director Tucker’s leadership is grounded in her own lived experience, creating trust, relatability, and true empowerment.

✨ 2. Culturally Responsive Care
SAMHSA calls for cultural and historical awareness — and Director Tucker’s centers Black families with intention, honoring culture, context, and community history.

✨ 3. Whole‑Family, Whole‑Community Healing
From “What happened to you?” to “What’s strong with you?”, BOHEMIA Cares’ programs uplift empowerment, reconnection, and intergenerational healing.

✨ 4. Safety, Trust & Dignity
BOHEMIA Cares’ consistent presence and dignity‑first approach reflect the national commitment to safe, supportive, and non‑retraumatizing environments.

✨ 5. Strengths‑Based Empowerment
The AAP highlights empowerment as the heart of trauma‑informed care. Director Tucker’s message of purpose, resilience, and self‑worth brings that principle to life every day.

Eight years in — and this work continues to grow, deepen, and transform families and communities with love, intention, and evidence‑based care.

Here’s to the next chapter of healing, empowerment, and impact. 💛

Welcome, Shontell Williams! 🌟

We are thrilled to announce Shontell Williams as our new Program Director!

Shontell’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience, courage, and transformation. As a survivor and leader, she’s turned her lived experiences of overcoming immense hardships—suicide attempts, sexual assault, homelessness, unemployment, and identity crises—into a mission of hope and empowerment for others.

Previously, Shontell served as Co-Chair of the 12 Days of Love program, where her leadership and compassion lit the way for community connection and support. Under her guidance, this initiative united incredible Queens with our platform, fostering an environment rich in empathy and strength.

Shontell’s voice, shaped through survival and service, resonates with perseverance, faith, and the profound power of love to restore lives. We are beyond excited to have her on board, and we can’t wait to see the inspiring impact she’ll bring to our community.

Join us in giving Shontell a warm welcome! Drop a 🌟 in the comments to show your support and excitement for this new chapter. Together, let’s continue spreading love and empowerment far and wide!
