In 2024 we received funding for and were able to strengthen services to Veterans, the Spanish speaking community, Youth and newly housed. We also received funding to support our 12-week Intensive Outpatient Program. These services run concurrently with a variety of other groups, classes and evidence based services to support many paths to recovery and a healthier lifestyle. We offer groups and classes as well as individual peer support 7 days a week, all free services. We never ask for insurance, ID or citizenship.
Service recipients self-reported the following: 97% my life is more stable, 100% reported feeling more hopeful, 97% benefited from group support and 100% benefited from the sense of community.
