Portland, ME: Patrick Babcock, Founder and CEO of Foundation House, an extended care mental health and addiction treatment center, announced today that Shay Butts will be joining Foundation House as Chief Marketing Officer.
Shay Butts is joining after being an owner in a successful private consulting firm, where she was a Therapeutic and Educational Consultant. Shay is bringing her lifetime of experience in young adult behavioral healthcare to Foundation House to continue to grow and lead the field in young adult treatment. Shay has an extensive background in admissions, program leadership and program development. She has founded and served in Executive Leadership roles for some of the nation’s most cutting-edge treatment programs, bringing quality programming and evidence-based treatment to the forefront of young adult transitional living programs.
“After being both a fellow program owner and a referral source to the incredible work that happens at Foundation House, I couldn’t be more thrilled to join such a spectacular team of professionals. I have witnessed firsthand the life-changing experience provided to these young men… It is truly an honor to work with Patrick and this team.” says Shay. “I’m returning to my first love of sorts, working with a program full of integrity, branded with excellence.”
Patrick Babcock adds “Shay is playing an instrumental role in our future growth and success. This was a no brainer for me. It just made too much sense. Not only does she understand program development, working with families, and admissions, but she understands our referral partners in a way that I do not, because she has been one for so long. Even better, she understands me, and what I’ve set out to build here at Foundation House, in a way that many do not. Shay and I are already good friends, now we are an amazing team. We are beyond thrilled to have her to carry the message of the Foxhole.”
