Rebecca attended Brescia University in Owensboro, Kentucky where she received not only her Bachelors degree in Social Work but also her Masters in Social Work. She graduated Cum Laude and Phi Alpha from the Social Work Honors Society! After receiving her Bachelors degree is when she started with Lifeways in the Day Treatment Program.
Rebecca credits her work in the Day Treatment Program for giving her the drive and passion to pursue a career in the mental health field, especially with folks going through crisis. “Working in the day treatment taught me so much about trauma and how it affects the brain and the body. That position is what drove my interest in learning as much as possible about trauma, and how we can effectively treat it. Those kids taught me a lot that I now use when working with people in crisis.”
