Nycki joins the team as a person who is directly impacted by the system. Nycki spent time in and out of jails along with time on supervision due to her substance abuse. She also spent years battling DHS to get her kids back. “As an impacted person I know how hard it can be to find a job, get a place to live, and even stare into the face of people who look down on me because of it. The stigma that is associated with these things can feel unbearable.”
Nycki chooses to use her personal experience to help fight and advocate for change in policies in our system. Nycki also is a member on numerous boards in the Chippewa Valley regarding mental health and substance abuse.
