Vivian Hazell

TRIO Mentor

In early January 2022 I was welcomed into the TRIO community after being retired for two years. My career spanned 40 years working with diverse groups. During my final 20 years I created agencies that worked in homes to assist families in helping their children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder figure out the world. I was also employed as a family therapist and really enjoyed helping those struggling with issues of life. As the TRIO Mentor, I am bringing my understanding of those with ASD along with my therapy background to provide mentorship for TRIO team members and TRIO families.
