relationships, and soon became the Site Director of the Richmond

and Eastern Shore offices, and has enjoyed a variety of roles
including Site Director of Virginia Beach and Assistant Director

years as a care coordinator and then as a supervisor for the

the principles, foundation, and philosophy of Wraparound services.
The Wraparound Milwaukee Program is a nationally known SAMHSA
program recognized by the Surgeon General and President of

mental health with a focus on children and adolescents with
