Better Together: Our Partners in Treatment, Compassion, and Hope
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
When we discuss Self-healing communities, we’re talking about our community’s ability to provide space for ideas and layers of support to emerge. Our vision is to strategically begin to give life to those ideas through trauma-informed practices to help pregnant and parenting women. Families need several layers of support to sustain change. Job training, housing support, health, and mental health care to name a few.
The different levels of wrap-around care require more than just one agency. It requires a cultural shift in how we view addiction, specifically in how we view parents that struggle with addiction. This means that it’s not just the parents who are struggling that need help, but our entire community needs to rethink what it means to both struggle with and heal from addiction.
The more our community gains essential knowledge and skills, the more our struggling families feel belongingness and support in their recovery. As we change our minds together as an interconnected neighborhood, we extend compassion, hope, and empowerment to struggling families. We will shift the fabric of our culture and thinking that supports rather than blames.
We can’t do this alone, we need partners. Luckily, we have some great ones.
