CSI Hires Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Promotes Program Director from Within
Child Saving Institute (CSI, childsaving.org) recently welcomed Alicia Theilen, the Mental Health Services team’s first psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP), and promoted Katherine Hubbard to Director of Early Childhood Education. The addition of an experienced psychiatric NP like Alicia allows CSI to expand the behavioral health offerings for children in need, and it will benefit from Katherine’s experience advocating and directing quality early childhood education.

She holds a master’s degree as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and currently is working on her postgraduate certificate in psychiatric mental healthcare. Using her passion and expertise, Alicia will listen to children and families without judgment, help them develop attainable goals, and work to decrease the stigma of mental health.
