Hurdle, Chavonne: - Chavonne is a volunteer appointed by a judge to advocate for abused and neglected children who have been displaced from their homes living in foster or group homes. For many abused children the advocate will be that constant person in his or her life. Before moving to Philadelphia, Chavonne volunteered as a court advocate and regional hospital accompanied team member for sexual abuse and domestic violence women in Virginia, where she was a juvenile correctional officer. Chavonne has a passion for giving a voice to childhood trauma while helping children deal with their traumas so they won't continue to be labeled as troubled. She also has a desire for helping women overcome their traumas so they can continue to rise up great children. Many people always wonder why children do some of the bad things like rob, steal, or hurt people but no one asks the question of what happened to them to make them do such a thing. She currently is a mobile therapist who provides intensive therapeutic services to children with Autism Spectrum disorder and/or other behavioral disorders. She also works as a substitute teacher. Chavonne grew up in Philadelphia, PA. She received her B.S. in criminal justice and M.A. in marriage and family counseling from Liberty University.
