For Diana, behavioral health has always been more than a profession—it is a mission. As an experienced Licensed Independent Social Worker, Diana has worked across nearly every area of social work, serving youth and adults and working in behavioral health, addiction, and community-based services. As a foster and adoptive parent, she opened her home to more than 60 children and youth, experiencing firsthand the challenges families face and the difference that timely, compassionate support can make. Those experiences shaped her belief that quality behavioral health care should meet people where they are and provide meaningful support when they need it most.

Charity has dedicated her professional career to children in foster care. As Director of Journey Home Foster Care, she saw the urgent need for mental health services that are responsive, meaningful, and available when children need them most—whether they spend weeks or years in care. Her commitment extends beyond her daily work. Charity has been an active advocate for meaningful change, working with an advocacy organization and alongside lobbyists to help bring attention to the needs of children, families, and the foster care system. She believes that identifying problems is not enough—we must be willing to advocate, collaborate, and work toward solutions.

Tedd brings the perspective of an entrepreneur, visionary, and someone who believes meaningful change requires action. After seeing the tremendous need within foster care, he chose to become part of the solution—first as a foster parent, then as an adoptive parent raising children of his own, and ultimately as the founder of a foster care agency. 

Tedd’s commitment to serving others  became deeply personal as he cared for his mother throughout the later years of her life while she lived with dementia, remaining by her side until her passing. That experience gave him an intimate understanding of the challenges families face as their loved ones age and the importance of dignity, compassion, connection, and quality care.

His ability to recognize unmet needs  continues to influence our expansion into Quality Moments Senior Care and our work within assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing communities.
