“I support Attitudes In Reverse because their mission directly strengthens mental health awareness, early intervention, and community education – all areas that are essential to preventing crisis and supporting young people before they reach a breaking point. AIR’s approach is practical, stigma-reducing, and aligned with the needs I see in the behavioral health sector,” Lisa said. “If selected for the board, I can contribute strategic guidance to help strengthen the organization’s sustainability so AIR can continue delivering high-impact programming to the communities they serve.”
