We celebrate and thank Hanna Center’s VP of Program Development and Advocacy, Leslie Antonelli Petersen, for her 17 years of dedication to fostering an inclusive environment and bringing organizations together for greater community impact.
The North Bay TIP partnership aligns with Hanna’s goal of ensuring that students leave our campus with a strategy for securing a sustainable, financially rewarding career path.
“Collective trauma is often unrecognized or untreated,” said Marissa La Brecque, director of Hanna Institute.“We are passionate about offering spaces to recognize trauma and its effects—and even more importantly,offering the resources and skills to change your relationship to your experiences and connect with others.

“When I looked at the Rec Hall, I saw how this space could serve an underserved population of our community—the local teens,” said Joe Petersen, recreation and camp manager for Hanna Center.
“We truly wanted a place where all our community members felt they belonged, and that just happened to be here on our beautiful campus,” said Leslie Petersen vice president of contracts and business development at Hanna Center.
“Our plan is to work with the school district’s wellness team to identify those students with the highest level of need, and prioritize them,”
