ABOUT SAM
SAM:
Susan A.
McNelley, RN, PHN, MA
I
am a retired public health nurse who has worked in public and
community health in Monterey County for more than thirty years. My
experience includes
work as:
- Volunteer with Gathering for Women, a day center for homeless women living on the Monterey Peninsula
- Commissioner, District 5, Community Action Commission, Monterey County Department of Social and Employment Services
- Perinatal
Services
Coordinator and Field Nurse with the Monterey County Health Department;
- School
Readiness Coordinator
and Parents as Teachers Supervisor at Cabrillo Family Resource Center/
Monterey Peninsula Unified School District;
- Nurse
Consultant for the
Monterey County MCSTART program, addressing Perinatal Substance Abuse;
- Nurse/
Activity Director in
an Adult Day Care Program for Frail Seniors with the Monterey Peninsula
Salvation Army;
- Field Nurse with the
Visiting Nurses Association.
In
all of
these positions I have understood the importance
of contact and collaboration with community resources. The
needs of families, particularly at-risk
families, are multi-factorial and complex.
No one person or one agency can address all of the needs. For
this reason, I have always used resource
guides and lists. When I couldn’t find
appropriate material, I developed my own guides. In 2005, I
compiled the first SAM’s GUIDE to Monterey
County Family Resources. The SAM's Guide, February 2019 is the 9th edition of the guide. This website,
SAM’s RESOURCES, is an outgrowth and expansion of this endeavor to
provide
information on community resources to those who counsel families in
Monterey
County.
