Yvette Jackson
Executive director
Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health
Background: Yvette Jackson, LMSW, DBH, serves as executive director for Devereux Arizona. With over two decades of children’s behavioral health experience, Jackson has extensive expertise in residential treatment, community-based services, integrated primary care and foster care. She consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to improving the lives of children/families facing behavioral challenges.
Key to success: “The keys to my success are rooted in a strong and dedicated team I collaborate with daily, supported by a positive organizational culture that fosters growth and innovation. Together, we strive for excellence, leveraging individual strengths to achieve collective success and create a harmonious work environment build on trust and mutual respect.”
Source of pride: “My greatest professional accomplishment is related to Devereux’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging initiative, particularly in support of LGBTQ+ individuals seeking a safe space to work and receive treatment services. I believe the work we have done to value the voices of others has positively impacted, and potentially saved, many lives.”
Surprising fact: “A little-known fact about me – I am a bird enthusiast! I find solace in watching birds and I work to attract songbirds into my outdoor spaces with bird feeders. To take it up a notch, I even have a ‘birdify’ camera to capture their beauty up close and share the magic of avian adventures!”
