Youth Care Coach

Samantha Bacon | Youth Care Coach

Hi, my name is Samantha, I come from a very large chaotic family. I am number seven of nine siblings. My two older sisters and I are first-generation college students. By this summer, I will have earned my AA degree in psychology and social and behavioral sciences. I have lived in Willits for over 20 years. I enjoy being a part of my community. From a very young age I have enjoyed helping people, first with my family, by babysitting and organizing. To Girl Scouts where I got the chance to give back to the community by volunteering to feed the veterans around the holidays. When I went to a charter school from sixth to eighth grade, I volunteered over 200 hours in our community. I found interest in the psychology field when I started college and since then I have found it extremely rewarding to work in this field. Since starting my job in wraparound, I have completed many training courses which include Foundational Wraparound, ACEs, the Neuroscience of Trauma, and Mindfulness: A Trauma Informed Approach. I will be completing multiple trainings these coming months for Motivational Interviewing for Wraparound Facilitation, Child and Family Team Meetings: Facilitation Training for Wraparound Practitioners, Cultural Humility for Wraparound Practitioners, and The Strengthening Families Five Proctective Factors Framework. Being able to use my childhood experiences to help others has been a great gift.
