Rops2@cheathamcoalition.org 615-636-7840 Joyce Craig joined the team in March of 2025. She received her BS in Psychology in 2015 after serving in the Navy for 17 years. Having worked in the Dental Industry for over 30 years, her love of teaching became a new career goal. In September 2023, she became a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist and enjoyed helping clients learn new life skills to assist them in becoming more independent and self-reliant. After working for the 988 Suicide Crisis Lifeline, she became acutely aware of the profoundly negative impact drugs are having on our nation, which compelled her to become more involved in the solution. As the Regional Overdose Prevention Specialist with our team, she is able to combine her love of teaching, personal experience, and formal education to provide excellent training on topics such as addressing stigma, increasing public awareness of the broader trends of the opioid crisis, the brain science of addiction, compassion fatigue, and how to administer naloxone to assist our citizens in combating the national drug crisis. In addition to enjoying her work she finds pleasure in growing vegetables, writing poetry and exploring the woods with her loyal dog, Boomer.
