Just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month, JCI is proud to congratulate two deserving team members. Nevaro Pitt, IPS Employment Specialist of the Year, and Tyler McCarthy, IPS Program Assistant of the Year.
Tyler and Nevaro were selected from IPS Employment Specialists and Program Assistants across the state. They accepted their awards on May 3 at the UNC Institute for Best Practices ACT and IPS conference in Winston-Salem.
Nevaro has worked in mental health for over 15 years, providing confidence to those he serves. His positive outlook and support encourage everyone to reach for their dreams.
Tyler has been with IPS in the Program Assistant role since October 2019. He is detail-oriented, persistent, holds high integrity, and is a focused team player.
