Episode 10 | From Tech Exec Skeptic to Champion for Behavioral Health

Jim Callaghan, President and CEO of TURN Behavioral Health Services, discusses his unexpected path from international business, tech, real estate, and finance into leading a mission-driven behavioral health organization. He reflects on how board service, fundraising efforts like Benavon, and witnessing the impact of programs such as the FRC shifted his perspective on people seeking help and deepened his commitment to leadership that centers dignity, recovery, and community impact in behavioral health services.
