Transforming Lives Impacted by Mental Illness & Addiction

Transforming Lives Impacted by Mental Illness & Addiction

Linda has been a counselor and speaker, teaching at universities and doing corporate training for over 35 years. In recent years, with the growth of older women who are dying from alcohol use disorder, Linda has focused more on reaching those who are the least likely to reach out for help: older professional women of faith. She is also concerned about the threats on our court professionals whose lives are in danger, and PTSD is prevalent.
