Congratulations to BSW Class of 2012 Alumnus, Lissette (Lopez) Lucero!!
Congratulations to JACSW alumnus Lissette Lucero Lopez, MSW ’14 on receiving the Jane Addams Rising Alumni Award!
Lissette has worked at Cook County Jail for six years, where she has applied her clinical skills and her passion for justice in working with incarcerated women, providing needed services and structure within the jail, and reducing recidivism within the community.
In 2019, she was promoted to the role of Clinical Program Manager of a women’s residential substance use treatment program, working with detainees who are pregnant and establishing contact visits between incarcerated mothers and their children. Under her management the program has developed into a source of genuine treatment and support for women caught between criminal activity and drug addiction.
Join Lissette and other JACSW alumni & friends to IGNITE CommUNITY on April 30!
