I have experience <br /> managing teams and coordinating services, which has helped me develop skills in <br /> communication, problem-solving, and advocating for people's needs. In addition, I have been <br /> actively involved in mental health education and community support through programs such as <br /> the Peer-to-Peer training with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). This experience <br /> has strengthened my understanding of how systems of care impact individuals and families, <br /> especially those who depend on community services. These experiences have helped me <br /> develop empathy, organizational skills, and the ability to listen carefully to concerns; qualities that <br /> are important when advocating for residents in adult care homes and nursing homes. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I am interested in serving because I believe community members play an important role in <br /> ensuring that people who live in care facilities are treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. <br /> Many residents of adult care homes and nursing homes rely on others to advocate for their well- <br /> being. I would like to contribute my time and perspective to help ensure their voices are heard <br /> and that facilities are supporting residents in a safe and respectful environment. Serving on this <br /> board would allow me to give back to the community while helping improve awareness, <br /> transparency, and support for individuals who may not always have the ability to advocate for <br /> themselves. <br />
