Program Manager, Marjorie Cook - Akron, Ohio
is the proud parent of 9 year old Alex, who lives with a mood and anxiety disorder.  Her relentless and often unsuccessful quest for answers, information, and help that would guide her in meeting Alex’s needs created the path to her current role with the Federation.  She draws upon the value of her lived experience as Alex’s parent to advocate for the mental health needs of families. Marjorie’s passion for eliminating stigma, building resiliency and her determination to change the current mental health system in Ohio is fueled by the struggles and successes that she and her son encounter on a daily basis.  One of her favorite authors, Dr. Ross Greene, guides her philosophical approach to her life’s work with Alex and others:  “Children do well if they can.” You may contact Marjorie at Marjorie_OFFCMH1@fuse.net
