The Parent Child Resource Center (PCRC), the leading provider of behavioral health services to children and families in the Lower Naugatuck Valley, wishes Laura Mutrie, Clinical Director the very best in her future career with Quinnipiac University.
Mutrie, Director of Clinical Services has been an incredible asset to PCRC for 15 years. Her expertise, vision, passion and demand for high quality services has helped improve lives of countless children and families in the Lower Naugatuck Valley as well as surrounding communities.
During Mutrie’s career with PCRC she has helped the organization launch the Early Childhood Consultation Partnership, Prevention Through Early Intervention, Therapeutic Mentoring, Intensive Outpatient Program and Triple P Positive Parenting Programs.
At PCRC she has helped institute evidence based practices, particularly practices focused on the identification and treatment of trauma in children. She oversees the PCRC Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic for Children, licensed by the State of Connecticut which for 10 years has exceeded national averages in client reported measures for access, appropriateness and outcomes.
Laura has been an ambassador for PCRC in the community, working with the Department of Children and Families, local schools, police departments, child care centers and numerous health and human service organizations in the Valley. She is the co-chair of the Derby School Readiness Council and a member of the Executive Committee of the Early Childhood Task Force which operates as the community collaborative for early care and education for Ansonia, Derby, Seymour and Shelton.
Laura helped PCRC develop one of the most vital and sought after behavioral health internship training programs in the State of Connecticut, hosting student interns from a number of prestigious Universities in Connecticut and New York State.
PCRC’s CEO Michael Wynne stated, “We will remember Laura as a dedicated supervisor, educator, clinician, mentor, colleague and friend. We will greatly miss her, and also wish her the best in her new position as Director of Field Instruction in the Master’s Degree Program in Social Work at Quinnipiac University.”
