“I couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity to continue my journey in this new capacity to further broaden our educational and training offerings for all of our audiences. My ultimate goal is to help deliver an exceptional employment experience by developing team members, refining our curriculum development, and leveraging a variety of platforms to enhance our content offerings for onboarding and training so that all stakeholders feel connected to and empowered to further our mission of helping children and families live their best lives.”  

A member of the Solace team since 2008, Brooks has held a variety of leadership roles, including Clinical Team Development Manager, Manager of Clinical Training and Onboarding Support, Clinical Mentor and Competency Coordinator.
