Wayside Youth & Family Support Network’s COVID Positive Program team today received the 2020 Excellence in Perseverance Award from the Association for Behavioral Healthcare. The Excellence in Perseverance Award is part of ABH’s annual Salute to Excellence Awards.
The COVID Positive Program staff recognized are Alex Bernard, Josue Guerra, Ethan Kokennen, Zach Lozzi, Dave Metelus, Torey Niles, Aaron Owens and Joan Yokie. Wayside opened a COVID Positive Program in April for youth involved with the Department of Children & Families. The COVID Positive Program direct care staff worked an average of 48 hours a week for nine weeks. Many were unable to see family or friends during that time.
