🌟 Meet the Team Monday: Board Spotlight 🌟

Say hello to Kendra (she/her), Board Member at FLYY and Director of Business Development at The Alexander Company.

Kendra was drawn to FLYY’s mission to create safe, supportive spaces where young people can build confidence and feel seen. Through her mentorship with Big Brothers Big Sisters, she’s experienced firsthand how powerful that support can be and wanted to help expand that impact.

She brings a for-profit perspective focused on strategy, growth, and long-term sustainability, helping strengthen FLYY’s work and future reach.

🌿 Outside of work, Kendra is a self-proclaimed serial hobbyist and is currently loving time on Lake Monona with her new pedal kayak. Fun fact: she also runs a home bakery called Baked, creating custom treats for special celebrations.

We’re grateful for Kendra’s energy, perspective, and commitment to supporting youth and families. 💙

✨ Gratitude in Action ✨

We are incredibly thankful to the members of 100+ Women Who Care Madison for their generous $5,000 donation to FLYY.

Last month, we had the honor of presenting at their March 9th Spring Impact Award meeting alongside two other incredible organizations. While we were not selected as the top recipient, we are so grateful to have received a portion of the collective giving.

What stood out most was the energy in the room, a community of women coming together to make a real difference for local nonprofits. That kind of generosity and shared purpose is powerful.

This gift will directly support the youth and families we serve, helping us continue to provide flexible, relationship-based mental health care throughout Dane County.

To everyone who is part of 100+ Women Who Care, thank you for believing in our mission and for showing what community impact truly looks like. 💙

We’re so grateful to Exact Sciences, (now Abbott), for their generous support and hands-on volunteerism!

Their team prepared handmade lasagnas with locally sourced ingredients for the young people and families we serve. Next week, 10 families will enjoy a warm meal and a moment to connect.

Thank you for showing up in such a meaningful way.

🌟 Meet the Team Monday: Board Spotlight 🌟

Say hello to Sue Moran (she/her), Board President of FLYY and Owner/Director of Four Winds Counseling LLC.

Sue first connected with FLYY while partnering with staff to support a young adult in the CCS program. When she later launched her private practice, FLYY supported her transition within the CCS network, which inspired her to become more involved with the organization.

Sue brings 25 years of experience in nonprofit mental health services across Wisconsin and Colorado, along with additional expertise from running her own counseling practice. Her leadership and insight help guide FLYY’s work to expand access to care for youth and families in Dane County.

🌿 Outside of work, Sue enjoys riding and training her Saddlebred horse, walking the Ice Age Trail with her dog, listening to the Grateful Dead, and traveling with friends and family. Fun fact: she has family in Belize, Central America.

We’re grateful for Sue’s leadership and commitment to youth mental health. 💙

For many young people, starting the conversation about mental health can feel overwhelming.

That first meeting can be the beginning of feeling heard, understood, and supported by someone who is there to listen and help.

At FLYY, we work to ensure youth and families can access that first step without long delays, so support is available when it matters most.

Community support helps make timely mental health care possible for young people across Dane County.

🌟 Meet the Team Monday! 🌟

Say hello to Junice Norman (she/her) — one of FLYY’s wonderful MSW Interns!

Junice holds a B.A. in Sociology from UW–Whitewater and is currently pursuing her Master of Social Work at UW–Milwaukee, with plans to graduate in May 2027. Her path into social work has been shaped by both personal experiences and the broader social climate, inspiring her to support individuals and communities who may be navigating complex challenges.

Junice is especially passionate about working with children, families, women, and LGBTQIA+ individuals, and she values creating spaces where people feel supported, respected, and empowered. During her time at FLYY, she’s excited to strengthen her relationship-building skills, deepen her understanding of youth-centered work, and learn from the experienced team supporting youth and families across Dane County. 💙

🌿 Outside of her internship and studies, Junice enjoys spending time with her husband and two kids, walking their dogs, staying active, traveling, and relaxing with a good TV series. She’s also a fitness instructor at Dragonfly Hot Yoga, never turns down ice cream or chocolate, and loves a night out at Comedy Club on State in Madison.

We’re so glad Junice is part of the FLYY team!

Mental health support does not always happen in an office.

For many young people, the most meaningful conversations happen in places where they already feel comfortable. That might be at school, during a walk in the park, or at home with a trusted provider nearby.

By meeting youth where they are, FLYY helps remove barriers, build trust, and make support more accessible.

Flexible, community-based care helps ensure more young people in Dane County can get the support they need when they need it.

🌟 Meet the Team Monday! 🌟

Say hello to Kali Anditon (she/they) — one of FLYY’s wonderful MSW Student Interns!

Kali is currently pursuing her Master of Social Work at UW–Whitewater, with an expected graduation in May 2027. Her path into social work grew from a passion for advocacy developed during her undergraduate studies in Women and Gender Studies, along with a deep desire to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Kali is especially passionate about creating spaces where individuals feel seen, affirmed, and safe to share their stories. She believes that while our experiences shape us, they do not define or limit our futures. Kali is particularly excited to support teens and young adults, including those within the LGBTQ+ community, and values showing up as an authentic and affirming presence for the people she works with.

During her internship at FLYY, Kali is eager to learn from experienced providers, connect with the community, and be part of the meaningful impact FLYY creates for youth and families across Dane County. 💙

🌿 Outside of work and school, Kali enjoys reading, crocheting, and playing cozy video games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. She also loves spending time with her partner and friends and exploring Madison’s coffee shops — with Mercies Coffee on the east side currently at the top of her list.

We’re so grateful to have Kali as part of the FLYY team!

At FLYY, our providers work to be that steady, trusted presence. Someone who listens without judgment, shows up consistently, and helps youth navigate challenges they may not be able to face alone.

When young people know they have someone in their corner, it can change how they see themselves, their relationships, and their future.

Support from our community helps make these relationships possible for youth and families across Dane County.

🌟 Meet the Team Monday! 🌟

Say hello to April Goss, B.S., SAC-IT (she/her/hers) — one of FLYY’s dedicated Individual Skills Providers & Service Facilitators!

April brings over a decade of experience in the mental health and substance use fields. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Marian University, is licensed as a Substance Abuse Counselor in Training (SAC-IT), and holds a Grief Support Specialist certificate from UW–Madison. She has worked across both residential and outpatient community settings, supporting adults, youth, and families with a wide range of needs.

Since 2015, April has served within the CCS network as a Service Facilitator, where she excels at helping individuals navigate complex systems. She supports clients in accessing housing, mental health and substance use services, and other essential community resources, always with a focus on empowerment and long-term independence.

April is a strong advocate who believes deeply in a strengths-based, client-centered approach. When working with individuals experiencing substance use concerns, she utilizes a harm reduction lens, helping clients stay safe through education, informed choice, and compassionate support. 💙

🐾 FLYY Feature Friday: Meet the REAL Emotional Support Team 🐾

At FLYY, we take mental health seriously… but we also know that healing includes connection, comfort, and a little joy.

Inside our office, you’ll find a special photo wall dedicated to some very important members of our extended team: our staff pets. 🐶🐱🐰

From loyal dogs to curious cats (and everything in between), these furry friends remind us daily of the power of unconditional love, regulation through connection, and the importance of play.

Because sometimes the best co-regulation strategy is a wagging tail waiting at home. 💛

We’re grateful for the humans who show up for youth and families every day, and for the pets who help refill their cups after hours.
