Sheri Seguin was diagnosed with learning issues at age seven and received her first mental health diagnosis at age ten. Initially she chose to become an educator to help people, like herself and members of her family, realize their strengths and potential. Her family, supporters, and employers allowed Sheri to see her unique characteristics, supporting her with the time and space for her personal growth and evolution. In 2021, a pivot was necessary and her focus shifted to education and advocacy in the behavioral health realm. She now serves as a CORE Peer Navigator and Outreach Lead Rest of State for the Alliance for Rights and Recovery. Also a founding member & chairperson of NAMI of St. Lawrence & Jefferson Counties NY, trainer/facilitator of many things including NAMI Programs, MHANYS Mental Health Community Partners & CarePath, and safeTALK.
