Natasha Brien
Natasha Brien founded SOSOLO in June of 2011 after personally experiencing the devastation of having a loved one be sentenced to serve federal time in a prison. Following the sentencing experience, Natasha became acutely aware that there were minimal peer-based support services for families, friends, and communities who have a loved one in conflict with the law and/or who is provincially/federally incarcerated. As a social worker by profession, Natasha decided to combine work and personal experience to form SOSOLO. Natasha remains actively involved in all areas of SOSOLO, and has expanded her work to include academic research on related topics while concurrently pursuing her PhD in Social work.
