🌴 #SomosSouthwestKey: Christopher Hickman, a dedicated therapist in our Functional Family Therapy (FFT) program serving Broward County, Florida. Through FFT, Christopher provides a space where voices are heard, and lives are transformed. 🏈 One of his most inspiring stories involves a young man who, despite facing immense challenges, dreamed of returning to play high school football after being incarcerated. Christopher shares, “As we continued the process of Family Functional Therapy, it was amazing to see his mother be able to start advocating for him due to her seeing changes in his behavior. As we fast-forward his story, he received a scholarship to a Division One school.” 🎓 As Christopher navigates his professional endeavors, he finds solace and joy in coaching youth in track and field, as well as indulging in his love for grilling and fishing. 🎣 #SomosSWKey #WeAreSouthwestKey
