Chester Street Foundation

Chester Street Foundation (csf) endeavors to shine a light on the invisible wounds of childhood trauma so that kids can receive the treatment they deserve while they are still young enough to recover without continuing the cycle of trauma into adulthood. Educating the adults around traumatized children is a crucial part of helping them on their road to recovery, so csf developed traumatalks, a series of high-quality trauma-informed trainings featuring founder, shawn alex nemeth, and licensed mental health professionals. Since 2018 csf has trained and educated more than 3,400 parents, mental health professionals, healthcare workers, educators, and advocates through traumatalks. Csf is one of the few organizations in Texas that leverages both lived experience and evidenced-based research.
