communities and along with his wife, founded a U.S. nonprofit organization which provided mental health and other psychosocial support services to hundreds of children who were victims of child trafficking.
In addition, Jimmy lived in Jordan where he managed an organization which used trauma related modalities to help refugee children in Jordan, Turkey, and the
Occupied Palestinian Territories recover from the violence of war.
