Leroy "Bud" Ford

As an AOD (Alcohol and Other Drugs) Instructor and registered Anger Management Facilitator, Bud provides anger management classes for both youth and adults. He believes these classes are a valuable resource for anyone interested in improving communication, understanding emotions, and building healthier relationships, not only for those who are required to attend through court or employment.

With strong ties to the local community, Bud is known for his ability to connect with people and make others feel welcome. He brings compassion, understanding, and lived experience into his work while helping participants feel supported throughout their journey.

Bud also recognizes that words like “recovery” can sometimes carry stigma and prevent people from seeking support. He believes everyone deserves access to resources that promote growth, healing, and positive change—regardless of where they are in life or what challenges they may be facing.
