Younes, an Israeli native, is professor and chair of the University of Nebraska at Kearney department of social work. She has also specialized in working with survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, eating disorders and relationship dysfunctions.
“I came from very humble backgrounds. I experienced poverty, I experienced oppression,” she said. “I experienced life and its hardships. I think I’ve always had this passion to just make things better for other people.”
