After 25 deeply meaningful years at Journey Mental Health Center, I have made the decision to pursue a new professional opportunity and will be joining Safe Communities as their Executive Director. This transition marks a significant milestone in my personal and professional journey.
I began my career at Journey as a front-line staff member and have had the privilege of serving in a variety of roles, culminating in my time as President and CEO. The experiences, relationships, and growth I’ve encountered along the way have shaped me profoundly, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to serve our community through this extraordinary organization.
I believe this is a natural and opportune time for transition, given the strength and stability of Journey’s leadership team and the positive momentum we’ve built over the past four years. Journey is guided by a robust strategic plan that continues to focus on our core priorities: Staff Belonging and Engagement, Financial Strength, Community Partnerships, and a steadfast commitment to Quality and Excellence.
I want to assure our community that Journey remains strong, resilient, and deeply committed to its mission. The Board of Directors and Journey's Senior Leadership Team are approaching the recruitment of the next CEO with great care and deliberation. Their thoughtful leadership will ensure a smooth transition and the continued success of the organization.
I will remain in my role through December 31, 2025, and am committed to supporting a seamless transition during this time.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. It has been an honor to serve alongside you.
Tanya Lettman-Shue
CEO, Journey Mental Health Center
