Message from our CEO/Founder
“The Road Ahead is the passion project that culminates my 25 years of serving in this community. Our team’s goals are to promote mental health, prevent mental illness, and support individuals in their recovery from mental health challenges. These services are particularly important for those who may not have access to other mental health resources or those with limited financial resources. Caring for the most vulnerable children placed in our foster care program, and helping parents gain the skills to bring them back home, is not just our job; it’s our commitment to our community. “
