We would like to recognize and thank Seanna Williams for her service to SMART. Seanna has always been an active member of SMART from the beginning. She has a high attendance rate – she has attended over 80% of SMART meetings over the past 3 years – and gladly accepts assignments. She has helped out with our Take Back events and is always excited to be in a situation where she can talk with people and educate them about substance abuse prevention and treatment.
Seanna is powerful advocate for substance abuse. She has gained the support of community businesses to help support events for people in recovery, and she has created an online group whose focus is to protect funding for substance abuse. During the legislative session you can find her convincing her legislators to save funding for substance abuse treatment and organizing rallies at the capitol. At the Drug Prevention Summit and at a recent rally on Capitol Hill, she shared her passionate story of her own recovery and her strong belief in the need for treatment and prevention.
Seanna currently works for Utah County Substance Abuse as the Foothill Outpatient Program Manager and Clinical Therapist. She joined SMART because she is tired of having clients die. She is tired of reading about overdose deaths and she is tired of the never ending stream of people just coming in the door. She would love to be out of a job in the next 5-10 years!
When Seanna is not out saving the world, she likes to relax by reading a good book, such as the Hunger Games Trilogy which she recently finished and highly recommends. Her guilty pleasure is the Twilight books and movies, but it remains a mystery whether she is Team Edward or Team Jacob.
