75. Why Every Child Needs a Trauma-Informed Community with Kim Botto

Today on ReStoried, we’re joined by Kim Botto, a passionate advocate for kids and families.

With over 30 years of experience working with children and teens in churches, schools, nonprofits, and foster care initiatives, Kim has a heart for creating safe spaces where kids can heal and thrive. She’s a Trauma Free World Affiliate Trainer, a TBRI Practitioner, and holds a Master’s in Family Ministry—but more than that, she truly cares about making a difference.

In this episode, we discuss how we can support vulnerable kids who have experienced trauma. Kim explains what it means to be trauma-informed, why it matters, and how communities—especially churches—can be a place of healing and hope. She also shares some super practical ways we can step up and be there for kids and families who need support.

Kim’s passion for equipping others shines through in everything she does, and this conversation is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and real-life takeaways.
