Melissa Perez-Constantine, LMSW (She, Her, Hers)
Program Coordinator
Leads Local Prevention Councils (LPCS) in the 14 towns in SWCT and focuses on efforts around vaping and tobacco/nicotine prevention.
Melissa began her professional career with AmeriCorps JumpStart, where she dedicated herself to enhancing kindergarten readiness by reducing the student-to-teacher ratio to a 3:1 in every Jumpstart classroom. She holds a degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology from Central Connecticut State University, where her passion for social work and community organizing was first ignited.
During her academic journey, Melissa worked for Catholic Charities, Diocese of Norwich, where she provided intensive case management and trauma-informed care to victims of crimes in the State of Connecticut, fostering her growth into the role of Intensive Case Management Supervisor.
Melissa furthered her education by earning a master's degree from the University of Connecticut School of Social Work, specializing in Policy Practice. There, she played a pivotal role in the CT Coalition to End Homelessness, working closely with housing advocates in Middletown, Meriden, Wallingford, and Litchfield County. Together, they pursued policy changes at both the local and state levels, with a mission to reduce family homelessness by 2020. Melissa excelled in organizing and executing subcommittee goals and action steps, including outreach objectives.
Continuing her focus on policy practice, Melissa collaborated with the Connecticut Sentencing Commission. In this role, she supported the Executive Director in examining the existing criminal sentencing structure in the state, proposing changes, and analyzing criminal justice legislation and sentencing policies and practices.
Recognizing the challenges posed by the school-to-prison pipeline, Melissa transitioned into the field of education, joining RYASAP SEL Community Schools. Here, she offered guidance and technical assistance in implementing and continually improving Social-Emotional Learning across the district and community.

Jacqueline M. Calayag (She, Her, Hers)
Program Coordinator Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative
Jacqueline M. Calayag joined the Hub in late February as a Program Coordinator focusing on the Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative.
She has a B.A. in East Asian Studies from Wesleyan University in Connecticut and earned her Master of Science from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York.
After working 25 years as a television news producer and entertainment reporter in the U.S. and Japan, Jacqueline put her career on hold to support a family member through his struggle with substance use disorder and other behavioral health issues. He is now more than five years sober and substance free.
The shared experience inspired Jacqueline to pursue a career in service to people in recovery as well as to their families — helping others as she and her family were helped. She most recently worked as a Family Recovery Coach at a treatment center in Bridgeport.
Jacqueline continues to draw on her media experience to produce several large annual recovery events in Fairfield County, including the New Canaan Addiction Awareness Vigil as well as Celebrate Recovery.
This journey has shown her how rebuilding and reconnecting are essential steps on any path to recovery and how stigma, misinformation and lack of accessible resources create unnecessary barriers to recovery. Jacqueline hopes to help recoverees, families and communities find some measure of understanding, comfort, and support.

Alexa (She, Her, Hers)
Prevention Core Member
Alexa has been reading, creating, daydreaming, and chasing dogs in Connecticut for most of her life. A graduate of Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism, she quickly learned the hard-hitting life of a reporter was not for her. She’s spent the last 9 years as a saleswoman, social media marketer, content creator, energy healer, virtual assistant, and somehow, insurance broker, before joining PreventionCorps. She is a student of Post University’s Master’s in Counseling and Human Services program. When she’s not working, you can find her obsessing over her fur babies, Java (the snuggly pit bull), Merlin (the high-maintenance beagle), and Bucky (the adorable rabbit). She loves listening to her partner James theorize about all things Marvel comics, and loves the thrill of a midnight premier. You can also find her dancing (16 years and counting!), running (blame quarantine), devouring either fantasy or personal development books, or binging bad TV.

"Su-paw-visor"
Chessie is a rescue Tri-paw who has been with The Hub for almost three years! She’s loves walks, peanut butter, swimming, and squeaky toys, among many other things. She's a top notch cuddler but can be a little stingy with kisses. It’s sometimes tricky for Chessie to fetch and listen when there are distractions around, but she’s an expert at winning people’s hearts with her puppy dog eyes. Chessie is a proud graduate of the Petco obedience school, class of 2022. Chessie’s work is focused on supervising her colleagues and ensuring a positive and efficient work environment.
