Here Tomorrow, a pioneering suicide-prevention nonprofit in Greater Jacksonville, has appointed Dr. Terrie Andrews as its new President and CEO.
Andrews brings extensive experience in behavioral health, most recently serving as director of Walmart Health’s national behavioral health program. Andrews previously spent a decade at Baptist Health, advancing from outpatient psychologist to vice president of behavioral health.
“It’s an honor to lead Here Tomorrow into its next chapter of impact,” said Andrews. “We’re focused on scaling our reach while staying rooted in our mission – building a community where every person feels they belong and can lead a life worth living.”
At Here Tomorrow, Andrews will lead a team of 17 certified recovery peer specialists. The organization has already helped more than 2,400 individuals – both those dealing with feelings of hopelessness or suicide and those with concern for a loved one – through its no-cost, no-wait program serving adults, teens, military members and first responders.
Andrews also has past experience with Here Tomorrow, when she launched an initiative at Baptist Health to place Here Tomorrow peers inside Baptist’s adult inpatient behavioral unit. Within a year, that initiative reached more 800 patients and led 92 to continue recovery through Here Tomorrow.
“By combining immediate peer support with evidence-based care pathways, we’re breaking down barriers to mental health access and advancing the field of suicide prevention,” said Andrews.
