Volume 2, Issue 1 April 2015

My name is Carlin Giles. I have been

married to a wonderful man for 16

years and have two amazing daugh-

ters, ages 14 and 11. My journey to the

Papillion Center began 18 years ago in

Auburn, AL. I graduated from Auburn

with a Criminal Justice degree and Mas-

ters in Counseling. While awaiting the

Juvenile Probation register to open, I be-

gan my work with trauma victims in the

Child Advocacy Centers. I was a forensic

interviewer in both Alabama and Tennes-

see. With two young children, working

closer to home was an option, when God

opened the door at Pope John Paul II High

School. After five years, God decided I

needed to spend more time with my girls,

when he offered me the challenge of

opening a private practice. After a few

years, God allowed me to join the Papil-

lion Center, in January 2014. As I look

over the past year at the center, I have

seen mountains moved and the lives of

children and their families changed forev-

er. There have been many tears and joys

shared among the staff, which makes our

team the most successful women I have

been blessed to work with. This job

provides me many opportunities to praise

God everyday in my life and the lives of

the families we serve within our center. I

look forward to many more years of

watching God work in the lives of the

families we serve.

Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist

Easter is quickly approaching and I am reminded of Christs sacrifice during this Holy Week. I am forever thankful

that Christ paid the price so that we can walk in His peace and grace! My prayer is that the Papillion Center will be a

light in the darkness and allow God to work through us to bring hope & healing to those we serve.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that

brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone

astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53: 5 & 6 NIV

FASD Inter-Disciplinary Diagnostic Clinic

Papillion Center Updates

The Papillion Center began offering an FASD Inter-Disciplinary Diagnostic Clinic in 2015. The clinic is

held monthly.

This is an extensive evaluation that will help families develop a clear plan to best help their child.

The evaluation will be conducted by a Developmental Pediatrician, a Psychologist, a Speech and Lan-

guage Pathologist, and an Occupational Therapist. A Program Coordinator will be working with families

on the front end to gather information and a Parent Navigator/Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist will

walk through the process with parents to offer explanations, conduct a brief Trust Based Relational Inter-

vention training and provide follow up at two weeks, three and six months.

If you are interested in learning more, please contact jennifer@papillioncenter.org or

chris@papillioncenter.org or call the office at 615-590-7213.

Trust in the Lord with all

your own understanding, in all

your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will direct your path!
