Wendy is the mother of one amazing daughter who is 22 years old. Mental Health has always been a driving force in her family, beginning with her father who suffered from clinical depression.

Wendy then had her own struggles with depression early in life and by the time it presented in her child, she knew it was up to her to be sure her child was receiving the best care. She began to navigate the juvenile mental health system and quickly realized that having someone to support her through this would be invaluable.

She has been working with children for the past 20 plus years while accelerating her career through the Early Childhood Education field. Having also seen such a rise in the need for behavioral health support in the children she was caring for, prompted her to seek a better way to meet the needs of the families and to give them the support she never had.

Becoming involved with HopeWorx has opened her eyes to the amazing support system available to parents and families who are going through this mental health journey with their kids. She is so happy to have found a place to be the change!
