Having worked at these assisted living facilities during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has become increasingly apparent to him that there is a great need for mental health support in a demographic that is often neglected or forgotten. Ethan will be attending College of the Holy Cross in the fall in hopes of fulfilling all of his educational goals.
