Oaklawn: Toward Health and Wholeness

Heather Glenn, Child and Adolescent Therapist: I like to work with people who other people have given up on. I’m a firm believer that even if kids are involved in the justice system, or even if they’re on probation, or even if they’ve been to jail, or even if they use substances, that there’s a lot of hope for them and that they can still have a meaningful life and that they matter. Their existence matters. I love being a part of the process of helping them see that their life’s not over, and they have value.

Derrick Perry: Wraparound Supervisor: The greatest joy I get from this work is seeing the light bulb go off, and what that light bulb looks like … it could be in a partner at another organization, it could be a youth, it can be a family member, it could be myself.

Shin Yee Tan, The SOURCE Program Manager: I have many memories at Oaklawn, and a lot of them really affirm that, yes, I came to work today and the next day and the day after, and 11 years later, I’m still here. Oaklawn is the right place for you to build your career identity. Oaklawn is the right place for you to make meaning of your life. There is a place for you here.

Brooke Marshall: Manager of Addictions: I started as an intern here, and then I was a therapist. And then I was a team leader of the jail. And then I stepped into a management role. I grew internally here. They’ve raised me. They took me with wide open arms. They really do become more than colleagues. They’re family.

Francisco Valenzuela, Spanish Interpreter: I would recommend this place if you want to keep moving forward with your education. If you want to help others, I feel like Oaklawn would be the place if you want to make a difference in people’s lives.

Jennifer Smith, Patient Assistance Coordinator: One of the things I really appreciate about Oaklawn is regardless of what role you play in this organization, you’re important. You’re valued.

Lisa Rhodes, Unit Manager for Child and Adolescent Services: I love it. I feel like I’m not just an employee at Oaklawn. I feel like I’m part of a family, and it feels good when you wake up and you can go to work and say, this is my extended family.

I used to tell people I work at Oaklawn, but now you ask me what you do, where you work. I say, “I am Oaklawn.”
