PROVIDERS

Project Director

As Project Director, I coordinate the communication between the sites providing SOC-CESS services and the many resources used to build extended behavioral health services for youth and families. I also work closely with youth and families to advocate so that systems hear their voice and that they have every opportunity to provide leadership in developing and enhancing services.

I will provide feedback from the viewpoint of a parent of a young adult who was diagnosed with psychosis at 12 years old. This will be provided to the Youth Engagement Specialist to build youth voice & youth peer support. I will work with the Family Support Task Lead to develop a plan to begin SOFI. I will provide support to the agencies to build a culture that understands & values family & youth voice.
