![]() In addition to his work in the private sector, for more than 15 years Dr. Arredondo has helped build effective models of service delivery for children and families facing multiple adversities in public, non-profit and philanthropic sectors. His focus includes early childhood brain development, the effects of trauma, and current thinking about children’s connectedness to practitioners across many disciplines. Dr. Arredondo has been intimately involved in the design and application of culturally competent, community-based services for children in state juvenile justice, mental health, foster care, sexual abuse and early child education systems. He was a principal architect in designing an ecological approach to resource deployment for First Five, instrumental in the design of a targeted, highly successful, lower cost Wrapround service delivery model. Dr. Arredondo designed, helped implement and documented the nation’s first Juvenile Mental Health Court in Santa Clara County, and has disseminated the model across the nation. Earlier, at EMQ Children and Family Services, he led the design of a program called Matrix – a county specific version of ecologically informed, community based approaches - which helps move children out of institutional settings into community based alternatives. He is also the founding director of The Children's Program, Solomon and Applied Neuroscience and is the director of The Office of Child Development. |
