"I’ve had a lot of training on getting things done, but mental illness was something I shied away from because of a lack of knowledge - I just didn’t know any better. Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs - I didn’t know about it. NEDHSA taught us how to spot it, how to combat it, and how to help ourselves."

"There are many challenges faced by today's youth. As a speaker at the Northeast Delta HSA Youth Summit, I took my role very seriously as I understand the impact sharing personal stories can have on upcoming generations. I am very honored to have been a voice to listen to at this Youth Summit and look forward to seeing how the Northeast Delta HSA continues their mission to impact our youth."

"I just wanted to come and express to you how beneficial NEDHSA is for us here in this area. There is a substance abuse issue and there are also mental health issues in our community, and NEDHSA has the ability to reach, support, encourage, enhance, and enrich the lives of our community."

"We call them the “least-of-those” who are addicted to substance abuse, and those that have a mental disorder, we’ll be better equipped to serve those people that we know need us."

"We appreciate your leadership in our region ensuring that communities such as ours are connected to resources that are so needed to keep our families safe and healthy."

"Northeast Delta Human Services Authority has raised the awareness of the opioid crisis in the United States. We want to partner with NEDHSA to heighten and raise the awareness of the opioid crisis and show you where you can get the help you need in order to combat the crisis that is plaguing our community."

“I am thankful for their collective vision of finding ways to keep mental health at the forefront of daily conversation."

"NEDHSA is an excellent organization with great people and services. I highly recommend NEDHSA. NEDHSA's team is so easy to talk with. I feel like they are all my friends."
