Jonathan Hernandez

Hi, my name is Jonathan Hernandez, and I work as a FCS Case Manger, serving Cowlitz County.
I bring over 20 years of lived experience into the work that I do every day.
My journey includes incarceration and losing my child to DCYFS while I was away.
Those hardships and the work it took to reunite with my child shaped who I am today.
I use my story to inspire and support the peers I serve in this community.


I want people to know there is another way forward and a better life is within reach.
I meet individuals where they are and help them take steps toward stability and healing.
I am currently studying in the SUD field to learn the clinical side of recovery.
My goal is to help in a holistic way by supporting the whole person.
It’s not about where you’ve been, it’s about where you’re going, and I’m here to help you move forward.
