There are many unsung heroes at the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), and I am continually amazed at the tireless work you do to help everyday Kentuckians. Today’s guest, Julie A. Son, is a field services supervisor at the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) Family Support Services. A lifelong resident of Princeton, she knows what it’s like to be on ‘both sides of the desk’ at the family support office. As a young single mother needing occasional support services, Julie returned to college to eventually become a supervisor over the Lyon and Caldwell County Family Support Offices. So, it wasn’t surprising when Julie and her son Michael risked their own safety, minutes after the devastating tornado hit Western Kentucky, to help dozens of people who were injured and traumatized. Julie’s story of courage, compassion and resilience will make you proud to be a public servant in the great state of Kentucky.
