Hello, fellow alumni!

Angela has spent 20 years in mental health, working with children, adults, and elders in various settings from hospitals, in care transition planning, and with patients with persistent mental illness and substance use disorders.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Angela has provided services to many people on the importance of resilience, self-care, and wellness. She offered weekly check-ins, and worked with other team members to address the pandemic’s impacts on behavioral health.
