Friday Note - Meet Harout Akdedian

This week I spoke with Harout Akdedian, Crime Victim Advocacy and Restorative Practices (CVAP) Manager for the Portland/Banfield Team. He shared about his job, how vital trauma informed practices are, and how hard that is to do through virtual services. I also got to learn a little more about his favorite things like authors and food.

Thank you Harout for spending time with me this week, and thank you for your dedication and service.
