Staff Spotlight
Lisa Ball has worked at Benchmark since 2018. Throughout her time with us, she has held multiple positions from Therapeutic Support Specialist to Licensing Home Compliance Specialist, to being our current Therapeutic Supervisor. Lisa has brought a wealth of knowledge and a deep desire to help others to each of the roles she's held. She is a veteran trainer, often prompting discussions from her own continued learning and understanding of trauma, and engages each of our families with empathy and grace. We lovingly call Lisa our "office mama" because she is the best listener, and she always helps guide our staff in the right direction to problem-solve without solving every issue for us. If you know Lisa, you know she always has time to chat, she loves her Tim Horton's coffee, and she's a very proud grandma! Our office is richer because of her!
If you’re considering becoming a foster parent, Lisa wants you to know that it's a hard, often thankless, job! While service providers are there to support, YOU are the ones having the greatest impact on the child placed in your home. You are “planting seeds” of safety, love, and connection. You may never see the fruit of those seeds, but you are doing the valuable work of planting!
