We are pleased to welcome Christina Ward, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, as the new Director of Residential Programming.
Licensed in Nevada, Idaho and Florida, Christina brings 30 years of experience in the behavioral health field. Most recently, she served as Chief of Social Work for Safety and Prevention with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. In Florida, she worked as a Quality Assurance Supervisor for a locked residential facility for children.
Christina also led the implementation of the Kinship Navigation Program across eight counties. She played a key role in developing the program manual, securing its designation as an evidence-based program through the Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse in 2024 and training providers in Delaware and Nebraska.
In her spare time, Christina enjoys walking her dog Rosie, traveling with her husband and reading—she’s an avid Stephen King fan.
