Dauphin County Children and Youth Services
Program Specialist: Substance Use Programs
My name is Alyssa Rotz. I am currently a Program Specialist for Dauphin County Children and Youth. I grew up in what has been known on several occasions as one of the worst cities in Pennsylvania (Reading, PA). I am one of nine children. I grew up in a single parent household. My biological father struggled with both alcohol and substance addiction throughout my life. I have seen what family support can do to help a person in recovery. Dauphin County Children and Youth has given me a way to make a difference in the lives of people who have lived through some of the same struggles I have. I was a caseworker for 2 years. I was able to help families (especially mothers) much like my own. I was the first one in my family to attend and graduate college with a bachelor's degree. I pride myself on that accomplishment which led to so many other wonderful opportunities. I am a mother to two beautiful children. I know it takes a village to raise children. I am proud of my village.
