Geralyn Mackritis, LCSW
Caring Choices Program Director | gmackritis@ccgnv.org
Hi, my name is Geralyn Mackritis. Growing up I was fascinated by the proverb of “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. I went into social work because of my passion to support others as they figure things out for themselves.
My younger brother was adopted when I was 5 and I can’t imagine life without him! I also supported a sibling who made an adoption decision for their daughter, my niece, helping them navigate that difficult choice. I believe that with accurate information and a supportive non-judgmental ear, good decisions come.
Every person deserves dignity and respect when making these complex decisions. This is why I do what I do! Outside of work I love anything chocolate and the beach, playing tennis, visiting new places, and playing with my fur-baby.
