We make Recovery the Expectation. We change the conversation from illness to Wellness.Because of our successes, our unique models and approaches have been studied and replicated across the United States & Europe.Our mission is to educate, support, and empower people and communities to understand, manage, and overcome mental health, addiction, and social determinant of health challenges.
