Pasco Kids First was one of four nonprofit organizations who were selected to receive a grant by the Greater Pasco Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Group. Brandy Weber, President of the Young Professionals Group presented the checks at the Chamber’s September membership breakfast. The other recipients included Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention, the Angelus and Youth and Family Alternatives. The funds will allow Pasco Kids First to purchase Advanced Tac/ AudioScan devices to be used by the Trauma Treatment Team while treating children who experienced trauma as part of EMDR, an effective therapy for many issues including those with PTSD and anxiety with quick results.
