Today we’d like to introduce you to Jacques Causey
Hi Jacques, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I’m Jacques Nicole Causey. CEO of Affinity Care Group LLC and Licensed Professional Counselor at Causey Counseling Consultation & Coaching. Ten years ago, I documented that I would 1 day have my own company related to Mental Health, I still have the journal in my procession. An Alumni of the University of Memphis, I graduated with a Bachelor of Art in Psychology, minor in English. My mother JoAnn Jones-Causey (deceased 7 months now) pushed me to my limits to continue my educational goals and press forward to obtain a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, from Walden University. I worked as an independent Support Coordinator where I coordinated services and advocated for persons with intellectual developmental disabilities to live a quality life. I thrived in helping persons implement action plans empowering them to accomplish their goals, when others counted them out due to their disabilities. Part of my employment responsibilities were to complete home visits and ensure that persons were treated with respect and dignity and getting proper care. This is how I initially was introduced to individuals with disabilities, that made me want to continue my journey with helping.
