Suburban Ramsey Family Collaborative

As Director of the Suburban Ramsey Family Collaborative (SRFC) for over 21 years, Mary Sue has extensive experience in the development, oversight, evaluation and implementation of a comprehensive prevention and early intervention system of care for children, youth and families experiencing at risk circumstances in the areas of their health, learning, safety and security.  The SRFC is a partnership of schools, county, public health, corrections, nonprofit agencies, mental health service providers, faith communities and youth organizations. The fundamental question that guides everything Mary Sue does is “How are the children?”.  Where children, youth and families are experiencing cracks in the safety net and are not doing well, she becomes a connector, convener, weaver, and at times disrupter - working together with partners to repair that net so all of our children and adolescents experience the fullness of opportunity that health and wellness, safe, supportive and secure community environments ensure.
