- Treatment Courts
- Family Courts
- Hospital Settings
- Individuals living independently
- Individuals connected to Family Support Navigation Services
- Individuals who have had emergency services due to opioids
- And more!
They are great visionaries developing and driving work in various programs:
H.O.P.E. - Healing Opportunites in Projects of Engagment
- Offers mutual aid groups by engaging individuals socially, with a recovery focus, in activities that strengthen the 4 pillars of recovery; home, health, community, purpose.
- This program was started to give individuals a way to connect, having something to do, and to learn about fun, purposeful activities they can do together. We know that sometimes learning about life there is to live with FUN can be a gateway to recovery.
- Examples include: art therapy, crock pot cooking, cell phone photography, making kitchen appointment organizers, holiday gifts for family
