Our Founder
Trina Nudson, Founder of The Layne Project 4 Families
With nearly 25 years of experience as a social worker, attorney, and leader in family support services, Trina A. Nudson has dedicated her career to creating innovative solutions that empower parents and protect children. She holds a Juris Doctor degree and is a Licensed Bachelor Social Worker (LBSW), bringing a unique blend of legal expertise and social work practice to her work with families. Trina is also a certified divorce coach, mediator, parenting coordinator, concilliator and domestic case manager.
As the founder of both The Layne Project, Inc and The Layne Project 4 Families, Trina’s work is driven by a deep commitment to making high-quality family support accessible to all. Under her leadership, The Layne Project has become a leader in co-parenting education, providing training and resources to professionals who help families navigate difficult transitions.
Recognizing that financial barriers prevent many families from accessing these critical services, Trina founded The Layne Project 4 Families— designed to extend the reach of these services to all families, regardless of their financial situation. Through this unique model, The Layne Project 4 Families acquired the services of The Layne Project, Inc. honed over nearly twenty years of business, ensuring that no family is left behind and that every child has the opportunity to thrive in a supportive environment.
Trina’s vision is simple yet powerful: to create a community where every family has the tools they need to succeed, and every child can grow up feeling safe, supported, and loved. Her extensive background, coupled with her passion for family advocacy, makes her a trusted and compassionate leader in the field.
