Jackie has been with Riverbend for 12 years, first as a Recovery Specialist and growing to Program Director of the Glenice Sheehan Home, where she was most recently. In her new role as Associate Director of Operations, Jackie will oversee our Residential Programs and work on standardization and client success.

Kyle has been with Riverbend for 3 years, most recently as the intake coordinator at Men’s Recovery Home. In his new role as Program Director of the Bradford House, he will be integral in launching this new co-occurring enhanced men’s residential program.
