Jen Buteau

Jen was raising two children, caring for her ailing mother and ran an organization through the closure. Jen was able to reach in her tool box and make sure that her staff were well supported as they continued to provide services the best we could in a shutdown. It would have been so easy to say sorry the world is shutting down so we will close our doors as well until it is safe to work again and Jen rose to the challenge of how can we make sure the families we serve are still supported through the pandemic. Jen embodies the five protective factors and does all this behind the scenes. She gives me hope that we can make a difference.
