  • Maria Wanounou
  • Maria W.Admissions/Outreach Coordinator
    Graduated from Montclair State University with Family Child Studies with a concentration of Psychology. My work experience has always been primarily in Mental Health and Addiction. Working at St Mary’s Hospital in Passaic, for 5 years in the Inpatient Psychiatric Adolescents unit as a primary counselor as well as working at Straight and Narrow in Paterson, in the Admissions Department and Male Long Term Residential for 4 years as a counselor, has brought me to Social Recovery Center. As an Outreach and Admissions Coordinator, my position is not only to admit clients into the program but also to provide as much support needed for the individual and family prior to admission and throughout their treatment. I have always had a passion for helping others and being able to provide feedback and helpful advice. I want to give the help and the support needed at a very difficult time to anyone struggling with Addiction and Mental Health. I am currently working on obtaining my CADC.
