About me
My name is Devon, and I am the Program & Community Manager for NAMI Central Oregon. I'm passionate about my work, bringing free mental health education programs and support groups to the Central Oregon Community. I come with a first-hand understanding of what it's like to live with mental health challenges, and the power of our connection with animals in our healing journeys. My professional background is in animal welfare and care positions, and I've dedicated much of my life to understanding animal behavior, and their connections to humans. I'm excited to combine my two biggest life purposes with the Bend-to-Balance workshop: "Recovery, Resilience, & Four-Legged Friends", and to connect with new friends about how animals support our overall wellbeing.
