Degree currently pursuing: Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
On a recent trip to Haiti, Stacy (Gilmore) Cecchet had originally planned to work with psychologists on the mental health team, however, upon arrival she discovered that children made up more than half of the population seeking medical and mental health attention. Stacy provided supportive therapy to children undergoing medical procedures without anesthesia as well as running a number of play therapy groups for children in surrounding orphanages and in the medical clinics. One of Stacy's personal goals was to provide safety, support, and hope to the children of Haiti, even if it only lasted for the time she was there. Read more about Stacy's memorable trip to Haiti.
