At TRN we value our vast network and working relationship with others in the field. To show our gratitude we like to highlight those that stand out. This week’s “Industry Spotlight” is Heather Hayes! Heather is known as one of the country's most prominent authorities in the behavioral health field. She is the founder and CEO of Heather R. Hayes & Associates and has dedicated over 30 years working to helping individuals and families find recovery and a path to healing. Heather is a featured Interventionist on the A&E show "Intervention." She is a coveted speaker on the national and international stage.

Heather has been a guiding light for Kirsten and Allison since the early days. Heather rented Kirsten her first office space as Kirsten was just starting her private practice in an old building that is now the new Forsyth County Courthouse. Over the years we have developed a great working relationship that has resulted in almost daily collaboration in an effort to help families find recovery. We are so grateful for Heather's love and encouragement from that old building on the square, to what is now known as Therapeutic Recovery Network!
Heather, we thank you from the bottom of our heart and we are honored to have you as this week's Industry Spotlight!
