Jean Franklin, FRS Therapist
Hello, my name is Jeanne Franklin. I am the new Family Resources Specialist (FRS) at Columbine. I am very excited to be part of the Columbine team. I have been an infant, child, adolescent and family therapist with the Mental Health Center in Boulder and in Broomfield since 1999. I majored in Spanish and French at Purdue University and studied a year in Madrid, Spain. My first five years as a social worker were spent working with migrant farmworkers in Indiana and in Wisconsin. I have three sons who are college students at CU-Boulder, CSU and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I love to run and walk my two dogs in Broomfield, where I live. I look forward to meeting all of you this school year.
