Rogna Jurecko

I began my career 20 years ago as a liaison for children with disabilities, facilitating communication between families and schools to ensure that children received the highest level of care possible.  From there, I shifted my focus to family systems, incorporating more support for the adults in children’s lives.  I found a passion for grief work during my employment at Highmark Caring Place: A center for grieving children,  adolescents, and their families.  I remain connected to Highmark Caring Place through volunteer work and I am a registered volunteer for the Emotional Support Hotline through the New York State Office of Mental Health.  

 I studied at the University of  Pittsburgh where I earned both a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in education, going on to complete an additional  master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
