Megan Torrez

Intervention Coordinator

My journey into the world of helping others is deeply rooted in a profound desire to effect meaningful change. This passion was ignited by personal experiences with mental health and substance abuse within my own family, revealing a critical need for comprehensive support that involves the entire family unit.

Beginning with a foundation in criminal justice education, I confronted the stark realities of substance abuse and recidivism rates among incarcerated individuals. Recognizing the direct correlation between substance abuse and incarceration, I saw an opportunity to apply my academic background and personal insights to drive effective change.

Over the past four years, I have immersed myself in various capacities within the behavioral health field, working closely with individuals facing substance abuse and mental health challenges. Today, I am grateful to be in a position where I can assist families in navigating their own paths towards recovery, providing guidance and support as they seek help for themselves and their loved ones.

My journey reflects a blend of empathy, academic rigor, and firsthand experience, all converging to empower me in making a positive impact in the lives of others.
