Diana Laskey comes from a lifelong history of being associated with the military in one way or another, which helps to fuel her passion she has for assisting those within the military community. She was raised as an Air Force brat, is a USAF veteran, and a military spouse. Her dad was a chaplain and she was raised on multiple military bases until she joined the USAF herself as an AMMO troop. While she was serving in Korea, she met her husband and they have now been married 24 years. Diana served her four years and separated so she could devote her time to going to school and raising their 4 girls. It has been her dream to be able to give back to the military community. Diana has worked with a large variety of people and situations: both children and adults in non-profit, substance abuse, emergency, outpatient therapy situations and more. Diana recently served in the role as the Selfridge Director of Psychological Health, and is now currently the Walking With Warriors Veteran Navigator for Macomb County, which has been the perfect fit to integrate her personal background with the military and versatile knowledge as a social worker and therapist for the last 15 years.
