In 2008, Stacey followed her passion for serving children and families, becoming a Case Specialist with the Arizona Department of Child Safety. Since then, she has managed ongoing dependency cases in DCS’s Pima Region. Her growing concern for the whole family — parents and children alike – and for the trauma they have experienced led her to be the first volunteer when, in 2014, DCS partnered with Pima County’s Family Drug Court to create a co-located FDC-DCS Unit. Ms. Stufflebean is a La Sierra University graduate; she earns a MS in Counseling (trauma focus) from Grand Canyon University in September 2019.
