Project Director, Santa Cruz County Coalition for Mental
Health
Principal, Spirare Consulting
Paula
initiated the Santa Cruz County Coalition for Mental Health
in 2002 and convened the first countywide Mental Health
Summit in October 2003. She is working with local leaders
and community members to create tangible mental health and
care improvements through the use of local actions and
resources. Using an Appreciative Inquiry (AI) approach,
Paula’s additional hope is to support the transformation of
the mental health system by getting the “Voice of the
People” to healthcare policymakers (www.mhsummit.org).
Paula is also co-owner of AI Consulting, LLC and the
Co-director of the 2nd International AI
Conference (www.aiconsulting.org).
She earned her MSOD at
Pepperdine and has more than 14 years of experience in
Organization & Community Development. Paula loves living in
the redwoods of Felton, CA with her husband, Louis, and
their dog, Amber.
