Terence Johnson is a public health researcher with over eight years of experience managing complex research studies aimed at helping vulnerable populations, including juveniles, incarcerated individuals, and those with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. He is committed to designing interventions that meet the unmet needs of justice-impacted individuals.

Having seen the U.S. criminal justice system take years away from his loved ones, Terence believes that individuals closest to the impact in the community should lead and shape programming. His work is rooted in the value of lived experience and collective healing, and he is a strong believer in the power of storytelling and meaningful collaboration to create positive change. Terence is dedicated to building affirming spaces and empowering young people through supportive adult relationships, focusing on community and skill-building to help them reach their full potential.
