My name is Jenna Sanderson and I am the sister of someone who struggled with a substance use disorder (SUD). Currently, I work for Bay Mills Behavioral Health full-time as a substance abuse counselor. I have worked in the substance abuse field for roughly 8 years and my overall passion is to help people. Like many of those in the helping field, I chose this career as a result of my own life experiences, growing up with an older brother who suffered with an SUD and eventually lost his life to an overdose. Between my career and my personal life experiences, I was lucky enough to find FAN and become an active member of the Chippewa County chapter. Through raising awareness and support within my community, I find peace in the loss of my brother, who couldn’t quite win the fight against his own demons.
