Kristin Jones, a native of Fayetteville NC, graduated from North Carolina Central University with a B.S. Degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Corrections. Ms. Jones has been working as a Case Manager for the past six years and realized that not enough agencies cater to the specific needs of individuals with severe mental illnesses. After realizing this was needed in our community, she wanted to be able to provide services that are individualized to the specific needs of clients. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from North Carolina Central University. "If we all waited for the next person to help we would still be waiting" is her philosophy on life and that’s why she is always the first person without hesitation to lend a helping hand.
