Background to my work

I have a long commitment and many years of expertise providing service around social justice issues, suicide prevention and trauma training. I continue this work with agencies that are providing consultation and training around the diversion of people with mental illness from corrections, reduction of trauma and suicide prevention. I work with the following agencies and welcome opportunities to explore this further.

BioMedical Development Corporation

Biomedical Development Corporation has developed and is testing a product to help people with bipolar disorder manage and stabilize their symptoms. This tool promises to be very helpful to people who have a history of incarceration as a consequence of their symptoms. As a consultant and liaison to mental health and correction organizations, I hope to increase the use of tools like this to reduce the incidence of incarceration.

I am a seasoned manager with over 25 years directing programs at the executive level. As the Director of Growth Resources, Employee Assistance Program for 15 years, I have extensive knowledge about how companies and agencies can keep employees happy with reduced turnover and negative incidence. As an Executive Director of local and regional programs at Bluegrass.org, I learned the art of giving direction while simultaneously encouraging people to identify and utilize their strengths. I welcome consultation around these issues.
