CEO, Hanley Foundation
“Hanley Foundation is the largest continuum of service providers for behavioral health issues in the U.S. It is the only organization of its kind that offers everything from evidence-based youth prevention programs, all the way to substance use treatment, housing, recovery support services, job training and post-secondary education scholarships—and a wide scope of services sandwiched in between,” explains CEO Dr. Rachel Pappert Docekal.
“Through two new Prevention Partnership Grants (PPG) we were awarded, we are expanding our prevention programming to 34 counties this year, including two in rural northwestern Florida. By engaging more classrooms, students, educators and parents, we’ll increase our impact on drug and alcohol prevention statewide.
“We are also building and launching specialty programs right on our treatment campus. The first is the Patriots Program, which is focused on first responders and veterans. These individuals are dealing with occupational-related behavioral health issues including trauma and PTSD. Our program is designed uniquely for Patriots by Patriots.
The second program is Casa Flores, a program for perinatal women struggling with a substance use and co-occurring mental health disorder. After delivery, the baby stays with them, and eventually they step down into supportive housing and receive job training and parenting skills, so they are set up to be successful when they return to the community. This program is designed to ultimately break the intergenerational cycle of addiction. There is not another program in the South Florida area that is doing this type of work,” Dr. Docekal says proudly.
