LaWanda's Story
LaWanda (she/her) is the Mental Health Navigator for We All Rise. Having always been in positions of client service, when the opportunity was presented, it was time to shift career goals to serve the greater need within the community. To be fundamental in supporting those who face the barriers of personal success on a daily basis. The journey began with an associate degree in Human Services and AODA, followed by a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Clinical Social Work. After serving as an intern with We All Rise AARC in their transitional living program at All Seasons Transformation, it became like a second home. Walking alongside our participants and advocating for change where many see it as impossible.
Alongside the mission and goals of We All Rise, assisting people to overcome barriers to quality care, and understand the resources available, provides my community with more successful transitions of care, and direct one to one support. I look forward to continuing to build on the legacy of We All Rise providing the highest quality of advocacy, mental health and wellbeing of those I am privileged to assist.
