"We appreciate the opportunity to once again partner with NOVA, assisting the efforts to transform its existing training room into a more flexible, trauma-informed multi-purpose space," said Tobi Bruhn, Executive Director, Foundations Community Partnership. The updated Multi-Purpose Training & Healing Space is expected to enhance NOVA’s capacity to serve clients, collaborate with partners, and host educational programs that promote a safer, more supportive Bucks County.
