New CANS Collaborative Member!

In November 2024, Cristal Alvarado officially joined the Alameda County (AC) TCOM Collaborative and she has already become actively involved including being the moderator for our most recently provided live CANS Certification training! Cristal is the Program Director of Learning and Education for the East Bay Agency for Children (EBAC). She comes to the TCOM Collaborative as a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT™), and a Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional (CATP). Cristal has also worked with non-profits in the Bay Area that serve system-impacted youth and families. All of this experience coupled with the attainment of Certification as a Child and Adolescent Needs & Strengths (CANS) Trainer makes Cristal well equipped to work within the TCOM Collaborative to help address CANS and TCOM related needs of Alameda County agencies and staff. We are excited to have her as a new member of the team!
