Background

About Deedee Stroud

Deedee has been an advocate for children and families for over 20 years. Her unique educational background that couples an MBA in Information Systems Management with a doctorate in Child and Family Psychology is the perfect combination for ensuring top quality behavioral health services. As the Business Development Officer, Deedee will research and vet new avenues for services that will enhance or expand our service array. Over the years, she has worn many hats at All Faiths—from grant writer, to Chief Operations Office, to Continuous Quality Improvement. Her passionate commitment is the elimination of unnecessary suffering in the lives of children—and she is equally focused on ensuring that the heroic staff of All Faiths have a healthy balance in their professional and personal lives. Deedee is our resident artist—her artwork graces the All Faiths office and many of our fundraisers. Many of her art pieces reflect the mission of All Faiths…hope, healing, hearts, balance, and “villages”—and she truly believes that it takes a village to raise a child. Deedee strives to offer a beacon of hope and reminds everyone that every child matters in our community—and that child should deserves love and respect. Despite long years of dedication to what is often heart-breaking work, it is not uncommon to see her sharing joy. She will tell you that the only thing in this world that we can control is how we respond to the cards we are dealt by life. “Choose happy. Choose gratitude. Choose to leave positive energy wherever you go.”
