Fawn Preston our Founder and visionary, has been in behavioral health since 1998. She loves what she does and it shows! She's traveled all over the nation helping people and organizations offer truly trauma-informed approaches to service delivery and crisis intervention. Fawn has helped thousands of people in recovery revamp and improve their lives through advocacy, support, workforce development, and multiple pathways to wellness. Fawn is a national facilitator of eCPR (Emotional CPR), an organizational trainer in IPS (Intentional Peer Support), and is certified in WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plans), PATH (Personal Action Towards Health), SOAR (Social Security Outreach Access and Recovery), Crisis Intervention, and Trauma-Informed Care. 

Fawn assisted in the development of the Trauma InformedTrauma-Informed Care curriculum for Network 180 Kent County Behavioral Health in Grand Rapids, Michigan during the MI/SUD integration; the integration of mental health and substance use services federally. She has also developed and delivered other powerful curricula that promote peer-oriented systems. She has over a decade of experience in grant writing, obtaining funds that enhance services and improve the quality of the systems we use. She specializes in relationship building, workforce development, trauma-informed care, cultural humility, inclusive practices, as well as holistic options to wellness and food as medicine. 

Fawn believes recovery is not only possible it is PROBABLE, and sometimes all you need to succeed is someone to believe in you; when you are having a really hard time believing in yourself. She loves making new connections in the community and collaborating on how she may bring more information and AWARE to you. Feel free to say hello!
