\u201cWhen tragedy strikes, communities like ours tend to band together,\u201d Executive Director Brenda Episcopo said. \u201cBut, do we know how to best help ourselves and our neighbors once the immediate danger passes? United Way and community partners are bringing together speakers from various backgrounds for The Valley Heals: Helping Each Other; an event meant for those seeking help and those looking to learn more about how they can help others in times of need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baudendistel has been involved in numerous local and state committees and initiatives within the realm of victim services, from education to service provision to legislation.\u00a0 In totality, she has worked in the field of human services for over 20 years and has her Master\u2019s Degree from Binghamton University\u2019s School of Community & Public Affairs.<\/p>\n
