“I’m very passionate about being part of the change to better support the mental health community. I have a son with mental health challenges and know the struggles he and I both have faced. I’m so happy to be a part of Heart & Soul and what we represent in helping our community”
Michael Dunn

Peer Support Specialist- H.O.P.E. Program
“I have been in the field of Mental Health beginning 2005. My first role as a part of the Helping Community was Case Manager/Money Management at Conard House. I had 7 or more Residential Clients at the Lyric Hotel in San Francisco Tenderloin. I move on from there doing various other positions (Substance Abuse Counselor, Intake coordinator, Residential Coordinator, Counselor, Group Counselor to name a few). I continue enjoy the experience of seeing people of this Community, here in San Mateo County, grow, learn, express themselves and become more lively through social interaction rather than isolation”

Peer Support Director
“Recovery is a journey, not a destination. That is why, self-compassion, patience, acceptance and mindfulness are so important and really help me. And I wouldn’t be where I am today (in my wellness, happy!) without peer support and a network of person-centered healthcare professionals. Find yourself and your purpose, hope will shine again from the clouds”
Luz Euceda Martinez (she/her)

Ebony Carruthers (she/her)

Director of Partnerships & Peer Engagement
“I enjoy creating safe places for people to practice and be in their wellness through a variety of support groups, community events, and activities, as well as Seeing Through Stigma project STS is personal testimonial panels where I get to go into the community and shine a light on serious topics like mental health, suicide prevention and any related stigmas. We must have these courageous conversations so we can be healed”
Brenda Nicholson (she/her)
