Meet The Founder
Debbie Marini

Owner/Director of The Awareness Impact LLC,
Mental Health First Aid Instructor, NLP Practitioner, Public Speaker & Mom of Three
After earning her BA in Sociology, Debbie has worked as a Behavioral Therapist, Real Estate Broker/Salesperson, co-founder of the charity Jersey Shore Miles of Smiles, Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid Instructor, and NLP Practitioner. The Awareness Impact was born as a result of these multiple certifications, her career background, and various life experiences which influenced her perception of mental illness. Debbie’s hope is that through The Awareness Impact LLC she will be a resource for those suffering from a mental challenge, as well as those searching for tools and strategies to help others.
Debbie currently spends her time between Florida and New Jersey with her husband and dog. She is a proud mother of three, two of whom are certified in YMHFA. As a mother of two daughters currently working with youth, as well as a son attending college, Debbie is able to offer many real-life examples to create realistic, engaging, and effective workshops.
