In 2005, she developed the Permanency Project for Duval County’s Guardian Ad Litem Program to expedite adoptions for children in foster care. Helen is currently a subcommittee member for the Florida Supreme Court Steering Committee on Families and Children in Court and a board member of the Florida Adoption Information Board.
