Calling all Volunteers

Our volunteers are individuals, friends, and family members who have been affected by a loved one’s substance use, mental health, co-occurring illness, or eating disorder and want to give their time and talents to let others who are walking down a similar path to them know that they’re not alone. Our volunteers understand the importance of their impact stories and that recovery is possible.
