Megan Tyler Founder & Executive Director
A note from Megan... Why Sacred Spaces of CARE? I am passionate about encouraging meaningful, authentic community and exploring pathways to healing, recovery, and wellness. I believe in focusing on commonalities over differences and embracing diversity to change the narrative and give voice to all. Each of us have a unique story, comprised of both joys and hurts. I believe that every person has value and purpose, and that we have a lot to learn from each other. Our mind is a powerful tool and our journey towards healing and wellness can be strengthened when we choose to embrace community and seek belonging, rather than face difficulties alone. Megan is an educator by profession and much of her experience has been within high-trauma settings, where she has been extensively trained in trauma-informed practices. She is an active member of her community and serves on the Young Professionals Board of PreventEd, as well as PreventEd’s Progams & Policies Committee, focusing on substance use legislation and prevention education. She has been involved in nonprofit work, community-based educational programs and recovery-focused advocacy and support for several years.
