Hi my name is Michele Bessette and I am very excited to be the new Advocate/Outreach Coordinator for the STOP Grant at Maquam Bay of the Missisquoi, working within the Abenaki Community. I will be working with families that have been impacted by domestic violence, it is our goal to build resiliency and skill to help families overcome obstacles which may have led to their victimization. We hope to bring together all of the best parts of our communities to help empower and connect these families on their journey to wellness. A little bit about myself, I have a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Northern Vermont University (Johnson State College), A Bachelors in Psychology (NVU), and an Associates in Human Services at Community College of Vermont. One of the biggest things I love and enjoy the most is spending time with my family. You can reach me at (802) 782-3843.
