We’re sorry—our October “Meet the Leadership Team” newsletter unintentionally omitted Joanne Kawecki, director of the Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Program at Northern Human Services. Joanne has 21 years of experience serving children and families, including 7 years leading IECMH at NHS. Her work spans direct family support, consultation to Head Start and child care programs, grant management and staff supervision, community networking, and the court-mandated Child Impact Program. We’re grateful for Joanne’s leadership and thrilled to include her in our team.
