As the year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on an incredible journey filled with growth, expansion, and community support. This year, we have achieved remarkable milestones that have allowed us to make a deeper impact than ever before.
In 2023, we opened a second office location that stands as a symbol of hope for many. With the addition of two new case managers, our capacity to support clients has increased significantly. We proudly hosted nine recovery groups/circles and launched outreach workshops focused on empowering individuals on their recovery journeys.
Our team grew from five to nine passionate members this year. This progress couldn't have been possible without the ongoing support we receive from our community and the generosity of our donors. Let’s explore the highlights of this transformative year!
Expansion to a Second Office Location
One of our major achievements this year was the opening of our second office location three doors down from our existing admin office. Our new office is carefully designed to be a welcoming space where individuals can come together to share their experiences.
Clients can now attend appointments, engage in a wide variety of recovery groups or circles as well as participate in our weekly outreach workshops.
Welcoming Two New Case Managers
This year, we proudly welcomed two new case managers Chad & Mariah to our team, enhancing the services we offer. With their diverse backgrounds and specific expertise, our ability to provide personalized support has increased.
These case managers, trained in peer-support, have started assisting clients through every step of their recovery. Their experience ensures that no one navigates their recovery journey alone. With the added support we were able to engage in 697 client visits while also helping to transport clients to 129 appointments driven over 2,840 miles.
Their contributions only reinforce the importance of having dedicated and knowledgeable staff who are committed to making a difference in the lives of our clients.
Hosting Seven Recovery Groups
We hosted nine recovery group & circles each week, providing a supportive environment for individuals at various stages of their recovery. These groups are vital to our community efforts, allowing participants to connect, share, and grow together. Each group fosters compassionate discussions that promote understanding and resilience.
Creating a space where individuals feel heard and supported builds a foundation for lasting change. The stories shared each week are testament to the power of togetherness in healing.
Offering Outreach Workshops
Last year, we also launched NEW outreach workshops aimed at extending our services beyond our one-on-one support. These workshops empower participants by providing essential knowledge and practical skills, enhancing their recovery journeys.
Each workshop is focused in one of the following service areas:
Advocacy & Empowerment Programs
Art & Expressive Therapies
Community Healing Circles
Mindfulness & Meditation Therapies
Trauma-Informed Care & Healing Justice
For example, we held workshops on self love master class, maternal mental health, food bank cooking class, logo club and art therapy to name a few.
Our outreach efforts have sparked enthusiasm within the community, with attendance growing each month, reflecting the pressing need for such resources. View our upcoming workshops
Community Support and Donor Contributions
Lastly, it’s important to recognize our community support and loyal donors. Their contributions have been pivotal during this remarkable year of growth and impact.
From funding programs to providing resources, our donors have championed our cause and demonstrated faith in our mission. Their support not only sustains our programs but also empowers us to expand our outreach.
As we look forward, we express our deep gratitude for the achievements made possible through collective efforts. Your support is more than a contribution; it is a partnership towards positive change in our community. If you want to help us sustain our impact considering partnering with us as a monthly donor.
