My name is Kathi Satchell, and my current role as Executive Director for the Family Support Organization of Passaic County has been fulfilling and rewarding. I aid families by providing resources, support, education, and advocacy for primary parents/caregivers of youth with emotional, developmental, mental, behavioral, and substance abuse needs. Born and mostly raised in Paterson, NJ, I saw a great need for children's advocacy for parents who are in need of support. As a mother of adult children, with the youngest diagnosed with Autism at age three, I have dedicated myself to continue working effortlessly to ensure transparency and inclusion for all youth and young adults impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and many other challenges. With many years of experience in connecting parents/caregivers to various resources and links within the community, I look to continue to develop even more partnerships and opportunities that will serve as a great help and resource to many families.
