Autorenporträt
Anne Peretz is a family therapist who, while working in two housing projects in the mid-1980¿s, founded a program now known as Parenting Journey to assist struggling families who lacked the necessary resources to face great challenges. Peretz found she had a gift for reaching across generations, as well as across class, race, and ethnicity. With a talented team, she created innovative techniques and therapeutic interventions which were successful enough to be taught to a wider audience. Parenting Journey expanded its training program and carefully crafted curricula to over five hundred locations, reaching thousands of families and several thousand facilitators in the United States, Burundi, and Guatemala. Peretz has received awards and distinction from prestigious organizations such as The Alliance for Mentally Ill of Massachusetts, Phillips Brooks Housing Association, Harvard University, On The Rise Inc., and from the cities of Somerville and Cambridge.
