Chief Visionary Officer
Gail Strobehn-Simmons
On October 27, 2012, my world stopped. My only child, Christopher, was found dead from an assumed opioid overdose. There is no greater pain than losing a child- and no the pain has not gone away. It ebbs and it flows but never goes away. Why my child, I asked God for years….Now- why anyone’s child….
After losing my child, I went back to school at 65 years of age. My concentration was in the field of Drugs and Alcohol, receiving my CADC1 certification in 2021.—But I have yet to sit down for my state board tests!
Shortly thereafter, I started this Non-Profit and here I am today.
MY most precious gifts in life are my five grandchildren and my husband Alan of 40 years.
