Directorial Work
"THE LIGHTHOUSE"
The "Lighthouse" initiative is built on the foundation of Living in Generosity, Humility, and Truth (LIGHT). My vision is to create a ripple-effect, one where every young person who walks through our doors is equipped to shine their light, bringing hope and restoration to those around them. Together, we can raise a generation of confident, capable, and compassionate leaders.
Education
Equipping the Next Generation with the tools for Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Growth. With a Bachelor's in Behavioral Health in childhood and adolescent disorders, and as a Certified Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) provider, I am trained to identify, understand, and respond to the unique challenges young people face in their mental health journeys. This certification equips me to provide the initial support needed for youth experiencing emotional distress, mental health crises, or challenges related to anxiety, depression, and more.
What Is Youth Mental Health First Aid?
Youth Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based program designed to teach adults how to assist young people who may be facing mental health or addiction challenges. With this certification, I’m able to:- Recognize early signs and symptoms of mental health struggles in youth.
- Provide immediate support to those in need.
- Offer guidance to appropriate professional resources when necessary.
All to foster a safe and supportive environment for open communication.
