Candice Kocsis, BSW, LSW

Foster Care Coordinator

I have a passion for helping children feel safe and loved; as well as helping foster parents learn and implement TBRI techniques into their daily lives, in order to best serve the kids in their home. I worked as a Case Manager for CCHO's residential program prior to joining the Encourage team. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, playing card/board games with family and friends, and winding down with a good movie.
