About

Hello, and welcome to Inspiration By Helen!

I'm Helen Marie Diaz, MPH, and I'm so glad you're here.

Inspiration By Helen began in 2016 as a platform to share my personal journey of living with fibromyalgia and my commitment to taking charge of my health through a lifestyle that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.

Over the years, my mission has evolved. Drawing from more than 20 years of nonprofit leadership and my own life experiences, I now use my voice to inspire healing, resilience, and hope. Through poetry and personal reflection, I share my journey of healing from the effects of childhood trauma and the transformative power of self-discovery.

My latest book, Journey of Reflection, is a deeply personal collection of poems that chronicles this healing journey. My hope is that its pages encourage others to embrace their own path toward healing and resilience. The book is available on Amazon.

Professionally, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Public Health with a specialization in Social and Behavioral Sciences. My education, combined with decades of experience serving individuals and families, has strengthened my passion for empowering others to overcome adversity and live with purpose.

I am currently serving as the Director of Youth & Family Programs at Community Action Partnership of Orange County, where I lead a dedicated team in advancing innovative, trauma-informed, and strength-based approaches to family engagement. In this role, I empower staff and help redefine how we support individuals and families through effective strategies and practices that promote healing, resilience, and the ability to overcome adversity, trauma, and poverty.

I invite you to explore my website to learn more about my story, my services, and the resources I offer. Be sure to follow me on social media and subscribe to stay connected as I continue to share inspiration, encouragement, and new projects.

Thank you for visiting. I look forward to connecting with you and being a part of your journey.

With gratitude,

Helen Marie Diaz, MPH
