"Andrea brings a lot to the table, a knowledge of behavioral health funding streams at the state and federal levels, an understanding of how funders view the world and energy and enthusiasm for her clients’ missions.” 

“Andrea’s expertise in grant writing and understanding of coalition work has been invaluable to Clark County Partners in Prevention. Her guidance and coalition trainings provided the foundation we needed to become an active partner of systemic change in our community.”   

“You Thrive Training & Consulting, LLC runs like a well-handled ship! Andrea’s work tenacity is exceptional. Our coalition repeatedly vied for the Drug Free Communities (DFC) federal grant.  It wasn’t until we sought her grant writing expertise that we were fortunate to be awarded DFC grant this year, 2021. Andrea detailed community efforts and created supporting documentation that I felt, gave us the advantage. Her connections in the prevention education realm are far reaching. We truly appreciate Andrea and the entire You Thrive team’s efforts and look forward working with them on a consulting basis as our coalition ‘moves forward together to end substance use disorders in Pickaway County’.” 

 “PreventionFIRST! utilizes You Thrive Training and Consulting to serve as behavioral health prevention experts through our TrainingHUB! Within the TrainingHUB! is the Ohio Coaching and Mentoring Network (OCAM). OCAM provides training on a variety of topics.  You Thrive Training and Consulting trains monthly (sometimes weekly) on topics such as grant writing and non-profit leadership. These specific topics allow for continuing education hours for preventionists in the state of Ohio to further their Specialist certification to a Consultant certification. We are grateful for the professionalism, knowledge, and expertise shared from this excellent organization!" 

“I have worked with Andrea on several projects involving behavioral health prevention.  Her strengths-based approach in prevention is instrumental in allowing organizations and leaders to identify their strengths to enhance their strategies and resources in building resilient communities.  Andrea’s professional leadership skills are perfect for those teams just starting out or seasoned teams who might need a spark.” 

“Andrea is a passionate champion for those advocating for better outcomes in behavioral health prevention. Andrea and I first interacted with one another during our Gallup Strengths Coach training in August of 2020. She is a natural coach, innately curious and someone who sees the potential in everyone. I’m excited to have upcoming opportunities to work with Andrea and know that I’ll be part of something special as she continues to positively impact communities across the State of Ohio.”
