The Hue Life team would like to introduce you to Jessica Woodcock!
We were blessed with over 1,000 applicants for the position of Administrative Assistant this spring and are delighted to welcome Jessica to our team. Jessica, who is brilliant and known for her quirky humor, lives in Elk River, MN. She will be handling many of the operational aspects of the company. She has 10 years of successful IT systems implementation and training experience with Graco. Jessica is passionate about change management, process improvement, training, and troubleshooting.
Jessica’s personality, bright outlook, and creative nature make her a great fit for our team. When not busy with HueLife, you will find Jessica spending time with her family, at the gym (getting pumped up!), or sweating at hot yoga.

Client Spotlight
Yellow Ribbon Resilience Program

Military families experience unique challenges that likely increase their risk for substance misuse and behavioral health issues. Between 2010 and 2019, the rate of military suicides increased by 18% and between 2010 and 2015, the rate of military fatal overdoses nearly doubled. Additionally, military-connected youth may be impacted negatively by their family member’s service. In a survey of over 100,000 10th graders with one or more military connections, youth reported higher rates of bullying, past 30-day use of alcohol, opioid use, suicide, and other psychological distress compared to their non-military connected peers.
In 2015, the Kentucky Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (The Kentucky Agency) received a Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success Program grant. One of the objectives of the grant was to strengthen substance misuse and suicide prevention and behavioral health promotion efforts through needs assessments, capacity building, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Two behavioral and mental health coordinators, Steve Cambron and Sara Jamison, came together to collaborate on this project.
HueLife has been working with The Kentucky Agency since 2021 to provide skill building, training, and facilitation services to assist the agency with their goals and objectives. As a recent graduate of Prevention Leaders Cohort, Sarah Jemison was able to utilize her newly developed skills to create a shared vision and collectively develop long and short-term goals and plans for the program. As a result of the PFS 2015 grant and HueLife’s training and technical assistance, The Kentucky Agency implemented several strategies to address the needs of military-connected youth.
