Dreama Storer
Program Coordinator
Parents Anonymous^® of South Eastern Kentucky Inc.

Dreama Storer began her work with Parents Anonymous^® in 1999, soon after the Cumberland River Comprehensive Care Mental Health/Mental Retardation Board Inc. became accredited by Parents Anonymous^® Inc. Partnering with parents, she started the first Parents Anonymous^® group in South Eastern Kentucky and has continued to be instrumental in the development and implementation of new Parents Anonymous^® programs over the last eight years. Ms. Storer, a dynamic Group Facilitator, works tirelessly to empower parents to become leaders. The result of her daily work in Shared Leadership is parents eager to assume new leadership roles: one parent, for example, became so empowered he developed The Caring Dads Program, a support group for fathers. Through her leadership and in partnership with parents, Ms. Storer helped to develop the Kentucky Parent Leadership Team in 2002. In 2005, she and a Kentucky Parent Leader served as co-chairs of the 2005 National Parent Leadership Planning Committee, and, that same year, she was awarded the local Juanita Chávez award by her Parents Anonymous^® organization. Ms. Storer serves as an excellent role model for parents and, akin to Juanita Chávez, she recognizes the potential for growth in every parent who has the courage to reach out and ask for help.
