← MID-OHIO TRAUMATIC LOSS RESPONSE TEAM

Our Team

If you are grieving the loss of a loved one and are in need of support, we are here to serve.

Kim Turner, LISW-S

COORDINATOR

In February 2022, I embarked on a new journey by joining Cornerstone of Hope as the Mid-Ohio Traumatic Loss Response Team Coordinator. My primary mission is to establish and nurture postvention services that provide essential support to individuals navigating the complexities of trauma in our community. This role allows me to collaborate closely with regional stakeholders, fostering an environment where barriers to care are diminished and compassionate guidance is readily available. Driven by a deep desire to create a meaningful impact in the lives of others, I find joy in offering safe, practical support to those in need. Outside of my professional commitments, I relish the simple pleasures of life—enjoying the company of family and friends, reading, and hanging out with my dog. Together, we can build a resilient community, united in hope and healing.

FIELD RESPONDER

Hello, I joined Cornerstone of Hope at the end of September 2024. I have been honored for the past eleven years to have the privilege serving victims of all crimes in Morrow County. I was an advocate for the Victim Witness Program through the Morrow County Prosecutors Office. I always had a passion to help others in need. I am beyond thrilled to join the Mid-Ohio Traumatic Loss Team. I enjoy spending time with my children and taking last minute trips.

FIELD RESPONDER

I joined the Cornerstone of Hope Mid-Ohio Traumatic Loss Response team at the end of June 2024. As a survivor of traumatic loss, I feel called to help others as they navigate their grief. I am an Aging Specialist with a background in advocacy for older Ohioans and individuals with a disability across the life span. I hold a Master's degree in Gerontology and a Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I am passionate about promoting excellence in all services, empowering individuals to make decisions regarding their health, and educating all mental and physical health providers about Trauma Informed Care practices. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephews, writing poetry, reading, and snuggling my rescue pup, Abigail.
