Let's get some early information out for that FAFSA and WASFA for those of you considering furthering your education. Thanks for the information to share

Seniors, remember FAFSA and WASFA financial aid applications for 2026-27 school are now available! While you wait, you can check your eligibility for FAFSA and WASFA, and begin gathering documents to be ready to apply for financial aid.

Guided Pathways Support for Youth & Families is committed to connecting individuals and families with safe, supportive resources. We are excited to share that there are currently open beds available in select areas for those in need of housing and stability.

If you or someone you know is looking for placement, now is a good time to reach out and explore available options. Beds are limited and fill quickly, so we encourage you to contact American Behavioral Health Systems.

Together, we can support one another-because it truly takes a village. 💙

What a great opportunity to be one of the speakers today at the University of Washington Harborview Behavioral Health Institute 2025 Re-Imagining Behavioral Health: Race, Equity & Social Justice Conference!

I am honored to present on the topic:
“Beyond Punishment: Restorative Practices and Alternatives to Incarceration – Moving from Harm to Healing.”

This conversation is deeply important as we explore how communities can shift from punitive approaches toward models rooted in restoration, accountability, and healing.

Grateful for the chance to learn, share, and connect with others dedicated to building more just and compassionate systems.

I’d love to continue this conversation beyond the conference—feel free to connect, share your thoughts, or reach out if you’re also working to advance restorative practices and equity in behavioral health.
