Lisa Walsh

Lisa L. Walsh is a school social worker with more than twenty years of experience in counseling students from preschool to high school.

She is the author of a young adult novel about a family affected by addiction and has done local TV and rdio interviews as well as readings and other events. Her students inspired Violet the Snowgirl—it was a real-life discussion of loss in a classroom of eight-year-olds who were empathizing with a classmate whose father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Walsh has two adult daughters and lives in Gifford, Illinois.
