Mechelle Hollins Casey is the Founder of DrinkWater Family Services, Inc. located in Lindenhurst, IL. "While working as a case aide/case manager for several child welfare agencies, I recognized many disparities in which Parents were not offered a conducive environment for mandated visitations with their children. This burdened me. I believe if parents had a safe space where they felt comfortable and free to share their concerns and worries, this no doubt would help ease the pressure of them returning to society with their child(ren) and allowing them to gain power; set, and achieve realistic goals."
