Tonya Johnson, a Denver Native, has called Pueblo home for almost 30 years. For well over a decade, she has worked to stabilize families and individuals in crisis, empowering those who feel they have no voice. Tonya has worked diligently in the nonprofit space to create a more trauma-informed Pueblo. Tonya manages the Mental Wellness Program Initiatives for Southern Colorado. Her focus is to enable a variety of mental health services, resources and education to those most vulnerable within our communities, breaking down stigmas and barriers to accessing direly needed mental health services.
Tonya has sat on numerous task forces, coalitions, and committees, including: Pueblo Domestic Violence Community Task Force, Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), Alliance to Combat Human Trafficking (ACHT-Pueblo), Community Commission on Housing & Homelessness (CCHH), the Mental Wellness Task Force of Southern Colorado.
In her down time, she loves spending time with her two amazing adult daughters, 3 grandsons, and husband of almost 30 years. She also volunteers her time in many ways within the Pueblo community. “It is not what is wrong with someone… but rather what has happened to them.”
