My name is Jocelyn and I am a candidate for the WV House of Delegates in District 69. I have spent my career working in social services. My career started in children and youth crisis stabilization. I went on to work within the Title 19 IDD/DD Waiver doing service coordination and behavioral support. Later, I found a calling to work with children and families in crisis who were judiciously involved . Within that roll I provided treatment coordination, program support and facilitation, and advocated for the families in the school, community, and courts. In doing this work I was provided first hand education in learning what impacts families, the barriers they face, and creativity in addressing those barriers. I currently work with individuals who struggle with mental health challenges and substance use. Having a background in various avenues of behavioral health has opened my eyes to the needs of the average WV family. I have a passion to help build better support systems and better communities for a better WV.
