Meet Our Founder
Jamila Carmen Salmon Psy. M is a dedicated Social Service Entrepreneur with 15 years of service in the city and non-for profit sectors. This Social Justice and Community Advocate has contributed to the Correctional Health community by providing strength-based case management and motivational interviewing to individuals experiencing hardships such as homelessness and incarceration. Doing so has allowed her to assist these particular individuals with identifying means for needs such as housing (i.e. supportive housing, independent living, transitional housing, family reunification and more) and professional and personal advancement (i.e. physical and mental health). This particular style of client advocacy has allowed her to construct a more organized and collaborative resource that can be utilized by both program facilitators and its participants.
