OUR FOUNDERS YOLANDA STONE JENNIFER TARDY Yolanda Stone and Jennifer Tardy partnered and founded Proving What’s Possible, LLC (PWP) in June of 2017 with a mission to advance the availability and practice of mental health services so that individuals with mental illness have access to fjrst class support to fjnd peace, stability and thrive in the communities in which were raised. Through the support, training, and mentoring of established and successful service providers, and mental health professionals, they were able to successfully start their own service practice in Altavista, VA. Determining the location came easy to Stone and Tardy who, as cousins, grew up knowing Altavista as a part of their hometown community. They were profoundly familiar with how deeply underserved this community (and surrounding communities) is for mental health support for Medicaid eligible individuals. Together, they desired to provide Outpatient Counseling and Mental Health Skill Building services locally so residents no longer needed to travel to Lynchburg, Roanoke, Danville, or Greensboro for quality care and support. PWP company values are near and dear to founders, Stone and Tardy as it infuses standards of excellence and dedication with intentionality. These values are infused into the core of the business and even embedded into the hiring process where stafg are screened vigorously for three priority requirements: (1) deep compassion for individuals, (2) expertise in the mental health skill building and (3) through the meeting of mental health service standards in licensure and/or registration.
