Community Psychologist, evaluator, facilitator, and caretaker, Dr. Kim Broomfield-Massey loves her clients and you will love her to. She describes herself as a caretaker. That is not something you hear very often among evaluators. Like me, Kim wanted to be a clinician, but discovered Community Psychology. It was a personal decision.
The information people share is not just numbers. It reflects the lived experience of community members. As Kim says, "We are giving voice to what people have entrusted to us."
Kim seeks first to understand the needs and the culture of the community and organizations she works with.
Kim is an expert in maternal and child health and an advocate for breastfeeding moms, especially among black and brown communities. She shares her work with the Center for Black Women's Wellness and it's a great example of centering the community's voices. This work has led Kim to be a leader with the US Breastfeeding Committee. Kim also has a new project, Stepping Up, that connects people in jail who are in need of mental health treatment. It's an initiative that seeks to change policies around mental health to create a continuum of care.
Thanks for listening! If you are a community leader and are struggling to use your community data, I have a free new mini-course for you. It will help you learn how to better tell your nonprofit or community story. Grab it here.
