Sandy has been a social worker in Lenawee County for over 30 years. She is the Director of Counseling at Siena Heights University, where she provides counseling to students and teaches in the clinical mental health master's program. In addition to her role at the university, Sandy works contingently at Promedica Health Systems as a social worker through various units in Lenawee and Monroe counties, including care navigation, the emergency department, and inpatient behavioral health. Through her work with patients and families, she's seen the barriers people experience when trying to access treatment for mental health and substance use. Walking a friend into the funeral home to view their son for the first time following his heroin overdose was Sandy's catalyst for wanting to work toward change, so families never have to experience such a trauma. She is grateful to join the FAN board to assist in helping individuals and their families find the support they need, and to improve the services available.
