Hi, I’m Gina Hernandez
I am the Senior Vice President of ChildWIN. I have a in Counseling, am a Certified Infant Massage Instructor, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and also hold a Certificate in Play Therapy.
I also hold a Post Masters Certificate in Trauma: Clinical Foundations and is the co-developer of the Healing Hearts & Building Resilience trauma training series for ChildWIN. I co-created the Trauma Transformation Initiative which has been featured nationally as an innovative and research based approach to changing the lens we have when working with children. I work in schools throughout New Jersey and beyond to help educators recognize and respond to trauma in our students in a way that builds resilience and creates more positive connections. I work in the classroom with students to promote “Peaceful Practices” to help them learn to breathe, focus and regulate their emotions. Social emotional learning is embedded in all my trainings in one way or another!
I am also a child therapist working in Ewing, NJ and I'm the proud parent/guardian of 4 children. I like to hike, love the beach and when I'm not working (whenever that is!) I like to travel with my children.
