Experience
Community Engagement Specialist
Feb 2024 — Present · RI, US
As the Community Engagement Specialist, I am dedicated to fostering strategic partnerships and advocating for enhanced behavioral health support tailored to children and families. I actively organize and participate in community meetings and events aimed at raising awareness of TFS services. Engaging with families, schools, and partners allows me to gather valuable feedback, which directly contributes to improving program effectiveness and promoting cultural competence throughout all interactions.Furthermore, I develop and deliver educational programs designed to inform the community about available behavioral health resources. My goal is to ensure that families are equipped with the knowledge and support they need. Through my outreach and advocacy efforts, I strive to strengthen service delivery and influence legislative changes that enhance access to mental health support. Tides Family Services, Inc. is a not-for-profit social services agency focusing on addressing the needs of children at risk. Since its incorporation in 1983, Tides has promoted family preservation and maintenance of youth within their communities through individual, family and group counseling; home visitations; educational and court advocacy as well as the networking of social services. Tides aims to provide the children, youth and their families with the services they need. The overall goal of Tides’ effort is to keep within the mission of the De La Salle Christian Brothers.
