As an experienced Adult and Children Certified Case Manager/Social Worker with 15 years of experience coming from the State of New York, I was able to view and experience first hand the adversities and difficulties that families moving to Florida encounter when they face financial struggles due to loss of income, home, lack of medical, mental and financial resources or any other essential needs we all have.  While living in New York,  I was able to see and experience the robust array of resources that a state such as NY can provide to the families in need and what a positive impact it can be on the overall progress of social stability.

 

 Coming to  Florida and working with many families with a variety of needs and from all levels of social-economic backgrounds, I am overwhelmed to realize how the needs of these families surpass the availability of funds, guidance, support and resources available to assist them.  

 

This is why I am compelled to be a part of the solution for many of the problems that families throughout Florida face.  It is my mission and calling to ensure families receive the guidance, assistance and support needed to be stable, reduce the stress and burden of the day to day events we can encounter, which ultimately lead to both mental health and medical health issues. These issues in turn can impact many aspects of one's life affecting family relationships, breaking down support systems, cause frictions, isolation, poor judgement and other issues that may hinder someone from living a normal life.    I too have encountered many road blocks in locating effective resources that provide the adequate and needed supports or resources that can aid in not only remedying short/long term needs but also supplement the lack of resources.  However, I have used these road blocks to push me and challenge me to network with providers, agencies and available community resources to gain knowledge and develop a professional network system to link and help those in need achieve and enhance their full potential.    Lets navigate the system together to give you that freedom you need.
