๐ฟ Meet Our Staff โ Kaylee LaCompte ๐ฟ
At Seeds of Eden, we believe that the most powerful stories of hope come from those who have walked the journey themselves. Today, weโre honored to introduce one of our team members, Crisis Intervention Specialist, Kaylee LaCompte!
โHi, my name is Kaylee LaCompte. Iโm an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. I grew up between McLaughlin and Timberlake, South Dakota. Iโve had my own struggles with addiction and the legal system, treatments etc...
Growing up on the reservation, we see our people struggle with substance abuse, some of us grow up in it. But, almost all of us have lost loved ones to it. I was once a part of the problem and now Iโm trying to be a part of the solution. I graduated treatment and moved back home to SRST. Iโm now 2 1/2 years sober. Being sober has brought light into my life again. Today Iโm able to be a daughter, a sister, an aunty, a granddaughter, a friend, even a coworker.
Iโm excited to be working with other women in recovery while getting to learn, grow, and further my own recovery at the same time. Iโm excited to be working in an environment that helped me change my life around so I know it can help other others too..โ
**As part of her continued professional development, Kaylee will also be participating in several important training opportunities this year:
โข Peer Support Training
โข 2026 South Dakota Behavioral Health Conference: August 10โ11, 2026
โข 2026 State-Tribal Opioid and Methamphetamine Prevention Summit (STOMP): September 10-11, 2026
Please join us in welcoming Kaylee to our behavioral health team. Her lived experience, passion, and ability to connect and serve our people is precisely the mission of Seeds of Eden. We are excited to see the positive impact she will have in our communities!
