Getting to know Sonya Allen

Hi there, I'm Sonya! This life's journey can take you to many places and will have you wear multiple hats. I have been blessed enough to have journeyed in multiple roles, many of which I still operate in currently. I am the founder of MIDAAS Foundation, a practice that seeks to provide inspiration, encouragement, and empowerment through mentoring, informing, diligently assisting, advocating for, and supporting all individuals and especially families who live or are associated with developmental and mental health disabilities.

My communication style I am an active listener because I want to be sure I hear, understand, and respond appropriately to those with whom I work. I have a relaxed and empathetic demeanor. In the challenging places or in the places of joy, I will meet you where you are and work with you to assist you in getting to your desired state. The way that I meet you in session is the way that I am in every other place that I might be. I am a woman of faith, and I am very respectful of the opportunity that I have been granted to be a part of your journey.

I became a paraprofessional working with children with various degrees of intellectual abilities. I was a parent, educator, and advocate for the population. In 2008, I began working with those who were identified as having mental health issues. Then in 2014, I was asked to sponsor an individual who lived with the same.
