It is truly an honor to work with and support our field staff on a daily basis to implement various behavioral health programs. I am inspired by the unique strengths among all of our staff and within our partner communities, and I am continually motivated by the shared vision for improved health and well-being among all of the families and children we serve. I am constantly learning from our staff and our community partners about how to best facilitate the development of effective public health programs that can be sustained by the communities.
