Dolores Jimerson and Robert "Bob" Storrer

Dolores Jimerson, MSW, LCSW, ADS, CPC is originally from the east coast, where she grew up as an urban Indian. She was reared traditionally Seneca (bear clan) in Little Italy, which also resonated with her Italian/Irish mother. She now lives on the Olympic Peninsula, where it seems “it’s always Twilight.” Dolores is excited to lead NPAIHB in the development of culturally resonant behavioral health programming to support tribes in meeting their needs. Her lived experience pairs nicely with her three plus decade career of working in behavioral health in Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Oregon, and Washington. Some of her past tribal employment was with the Eastern Shoshone, Northern Arapaho,  CTUIR, and Quileute. Her previous national level work included serving as Director of Community Development for NICWA. She is a caregiver and community organizer at heart, who is passionate about creating services that resonate with re-membering us into our greatness. She is clinically licensed in both Wyoming and Oregon, along with being a certified Acudetox Specialist (ear acupuncture) and Registered Trainer. You can find her gardening, beach combing, traveling, writing, or serving as comedic muse when she is not working.

Robert “Bob” Storrer, CADC, ADS has been in the SUD field for 35 years, with the last 16 years as a residential SUD therapist/counselor for the Saginaw-Chippewa Tribes in Michigan where he has become family and recognized by the Tribe as a good relative. Bob is one of those elders who still works even though he is retired.
