Who We Are

Over the years, Christine Wainwright has held many positions - athletic trainer, Biology teacher, Realtor and business owner. But her proudest achievements have been her children, and her recovery. But the road that has led her to where she is today, her 'lived experience', including the loss of her 8 year-old daughter, has given her an intuitive understanding of how having and instilling hope can be the spark that can turn a life around. 

As the COO of The Heart and Mind Connection, Christine not only manages the day-to-day operations of all business aspects of the organization, but also provides education and awareness programming. She is a Certified Peer Support Specialist, as well as a Mental Health First Aid Instructor and Certified WRAP Facilitator. She's also an engaging and passionate speaker.
