In Her Own Words: Dr. Lisa Pion-Berlin’s Parents Anonymous is anything but

Bizwomen

Taking care of the children of the world is a daunting task. Taking care of their parents as well takes inordinate energy and dedication. That’s Dr. Lisa Pion Berlin’s mission.

Throughout my career as a social worker, clinical hypnotherapist and CEO of Parents Anonymous Inc., I’ve always viewed advocacy as central to who I am and what my contribution is as a caring, participating citizen of the world. My passion is to support the empowerment journey of diverse parents, children and youth.

Before becoming CEO at Parents Anonymous, I managed a state-level foundation dedicated to strengthening families to prevent child abuse and neglect. I witnessed parents and young people being pushed aside and not fully understood, which motivated me to stand up for change. My experience in that position not only enhanced my abilities as a leader, but it amplified my sense of determination to help both parents and youth, which has continued to guide me in my career journey.
