ABOUT
Meet
Seth Hassett
I believe that stronger communities are built when human services are effective and responsive. For decades, I’ve worked across federal, state, and local systems—including senior leadership roles at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. My focus has always been on connecting policy with practice, fostering collaboration across agencies, and supporting long-term recovery. Through Hassett Strategies, I draw on this history to help organizations strengthen the systems people depend on.
