After graduating from Hampton University, Dr. Lisa LaCon began working with individuals who were infected, as well as affected with HIV/AIDS. While working with this population, she was instrumental in developing and implementing educational health programs that assisted in the increase in the level of awareness and prevention of HIV/AIDS. This work led her to conduct presentations throughout New York State and City prisons, shelters, and community health centers. Dr. LaCon has modified agency-based rehabilitation assessment instruments to meet certification standards. She has a track record of motivating staff, resulting in an expansion of programs and performance and working collaboratively with external agencies, within the rehabilitation arena, promoting a client-centered approach in working with adults with psychiatric diagnoses, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and ex-offenders who desire to become employed, live in suitable housing, and maintain meaningful relationships in order to better integrate in the community. Dr. LaCon graduated with a M.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling from Rutgers University, The State University of New Jersey and became a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). She later earned her doctorate in Psychiatric Rehabilitation from Rutgers University. She is the first Black to earn this accomplishment. Her areas of specialty include working in the urban community with clients who have addictions, working with the re-entry population, and those diagnosed with psychiatric disabilities through a psychiatric rehabilitation approach in assisting them on their wellness and recovery journey to wholeness. In addition, she is an active member in her sorority, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.
