Kids First Center Hires New Executive Director
PORTLAND, Maine - Nicolle (Nici) Carbone, Esq. has been hired as the new Executive Director of the Kids First Center, a local non-profit agency that has been focusing on helping children and parents cope with the effects of separation and divorce since its founding in 1998.
Nici comes to Kids First with a wealth of relevant experience. With a law degree, as well as a Masters degree in marriage and family therapy, she offers a deep understanding and appreciation for the two professions that originally came together and founded the Center. Providing educational and collaborative opportunities for attorneys and mental health professionals around the complex legal and emotional issues surrounding divorce and separation is an important tenet of the Kids First mission.
"This is a very exciting time for the Kids First Center," says Kimberly Kump, Chair of the Board of Directors. "Nici is a welcome addition to our agency, and we are confident that under her leadership, Kids First will carry on our mission of helping children thrive by supporting families throughout the state of Maine who are facing the painful challenges of divorce and separation. Our founding Executive Director, Peg Libby, leaves a legacy at the Center and we feel strongly that Nici is the right person to move us forward upon Peg's retirement in May."
Nici's interest in both family work and the legal world have helped to bring her to the Kids First Center team. Nici has extensive experience with children and families, and particularly, a deep concern for the plight of children in difficult family situations.
"I am passionate about improving the experiences of children in our community," says Carbone. "The separation and divorce of a child's parents can be one of the most trying, and often traumatic, experiences of one's life. The Kids First Center helps children and parents address and process the grief, loss, and myriad range of emotions that come with this changing family dynamic. The Center also supports children by assisting their separating parents in putting their Kids First. I couldn't be more honored to be part of such an important organization."
