Mary Thomas
Mary Thomas has been serving as the program manager for the Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM) program since 2024. Holding a degree in addiction counseling and driven by a strong passion for mental health advocacy–particularly among adolescents and young adults–Mary was drawn to the YAM program’s mission and impact.
Beginning her journey with the program as a facilitator, Mary gained valuable firsthand experience in classroom engagement and mental health education. She leverages this background in her leadership role, dedicated to expanding access to mental health resources and fostering supportive environments for youth.
Mary is committed to continuous learning and professional development in the mental health field. Her goal is to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young individuals through education, advocacy, and compassionate support.
