    Akia Compton, MS – Vice President, Programs – MIKID:  Akia has been active in youth services since 1993, ranging from residential, independent living, juvenile justice, and behavioral health. Akia has a B.A. in Sociology and Criminal Justice and an M.S. in Administration of Justice and Security. She is also a parent of a child with behavioral health challenges.

    Erin Benjamin – Child and Family Liaison from UHCCCP OIFA: Erin has been working for 10 years with children and families at provider agencies.

    Trisha Riner – Northern Arizona Regional Director, Family Involvement Center: Trish has personal lived experience navigating Residential Treatment Centers and Arizona State Hospital placements, and she understands the challenges families face when their child transitions between placements in and out of the home.

    Joshua Ka’apana Napoleon – Children’s Behavioral Health Liaison, OIFA Health Choice: Joshua is a Native Hawaiian from the island of O’ahu. Since his father was Native Hawaiian and his mother Caucasian, he experienced discrimination throughout his childhood because of his physical appearance. He participated in Peer Counseling and Peer Supports throughout school and worked with fellow students when situations arose. This led him to pursue education in the behavioral health field.
