Palma Ashcraft, BSSW, LSW
Foster Care Assessor and Trainer
I am very excited to join the Encourage team as Training Coordinator and Assessor. As the Training Coordinator, I will provide ongoing training for foster parents and incoming foster families. As an Assessor, I will be doing recertifications, transfers, and initial home studies. Before this position, I was an ongoing social worker for Licking County Children's Services. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two daughters and our small zoo of animals. I love reading, crocheting, watching movies, camping, playing with our animals, and spending time with family.
