Natasha Swayze, LMSW
Natasha earned her Bachelor's of Social Work and a Master's of Social Work degree from Park University. Natasha is a member of Phi Alpha Rho Epsilon Honor Society and is active in participating in service activities as a member.
Natasha comes from a military connected family which drives her passion for serving military and veteran families. While completing a summer internship at The VA Medical Center in Leavenworth, Kansas and connecting to several military and veteran organizations, Natasha's desire to advocate for the caregivers of military families grew. One of Natasha's many accomplishments surround her ability to create programming around the needs of caregivers, their children, and the whole family unit. Much of Natasha's initiatives surround the children in veteran homes and supporting families experiencing financial crisis through her work with the Hope Fund. Natasha is active in facilitating educational financial literacy workshops to veteran families, as well as exploring and implementing programming in financial wellness for families.
One of the ways Natasha participates in mental health advocacy at the foundation is by facilitating Mental Health First Aid as a certified instructor.
Natasha is a proud mother to three children and a grandmother to two boys.
