Dr. Howells, a woman who battled with no self-esteem, no self-worth, courageously did something positive about it. In her early 40’s, with no husband and four children, she went to college. JoAnn received her BA in Psychology from Adelphi University and if that wasn’t enough, Dr. Howells furthered her education by receiving her Doctoral in Christian Psychology from Logus College located in Jacksonville, FL.
Dr. Howells has dedicated her life to working with two distinct sectors of the public. Her first commitment was to high risk offenders. She was employed for ten years by the Department of Probation in Brooklyn, NY in which she supervised high risk prison bond felons. As an alternative to incarceration a volunteer program was cost effective, but over the course of ten years, 300 agencies and 1050 offenders had benefitted from this unique alternative.
JoAnn’s second commitment has been and continues to be in the Ministry of the Homeless. She is affectionately called “Mama” by the men and women whose temporary home has become the streets of Clearwater, FL. Dr. Howells lifts spirits and gives hope to all who encounter her. Dr. Howells is a woman to be admired.
Dr. JoAnn Howells currently resides in Clearwater, FL. You may email her at JoAnnHowells@hotmail.com.ver menos
