Susan Stember Buhlmann, a life-long social worker, recently joined 13 other community members in serving on Youth Services\u2019 board of directors.  Through nineteen programs ranging from restorative justice, to mentoring, transitional living, workforce development and therapeutic case management, the nonprofit agency helps Windham County thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Work, Buhlmann worked at The Brattleboro Retreat where she established a solid foundation in psychiatric care. From there she moved to Australia, working for the Family Court of Australia in addition to organizing and running a community-wide program for divorced families. While in Australia she began her own family of two children, now adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning to the United States, she worked in a variety of mental health settings including as the Regional Care Coordinator of the New Jersey Children\u2019s Behavioral Health System and later was coordinator and supervisor of the Middlesex County NJ Children\u2019s Mobile Response. In 2009, Buhlmann returned to the Retreat as a clinician in their Partial Hospital Programs and later as the psychiatric hospital\u2019s Clinical Outreach Representative, promoting and representing The Retreat throughout New England and beyond. She presently works part-time for Bayada Hospice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With years of experience working with adolescents and families in the mental health field, Buhlmann brings crucial insights and community connections to the Youth Services board, according to Cathy Coonan, board president. She says they are fortunate to have her vast experience when they are developing strategic plans for the future of the organization and trying to prevent staff burnout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cSusan\u2019s deep understanding of the effects of trauma on mental health will be a tremendous asset to the board, none of whom have Buhlmann\u2019s clinical background. We also appreciate her enthusiasm for our fundraising events and look forward to tapping her organizational skills,\u201d Coonan added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent addition to Youth Service\u2019 board resides in Brattleboro with her husband Willy Buhlmann, owner of Swiss Precision Turning Inc, a long-time corporate sponsor of Youth Services.  A \u201cregular\u201d at Youth Services\u2019 Annual Golf Tournament with her husband, Buhlmann is no stranger to Youth Services, having served for many years on the Advisory Council of the organization\u2019s Big Brothers Big Sisters program and as a committee member of its Bowl for Kids\u2019 Sake fundraiser. She now is a member of the Annual Golf Tournament committee organizing a tourney and Helicopter Golf Ball Drop for July 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
