Feature Quote

We've had individuals who've been in really entry level positions in the medical field who don't have the extra income to be able to support going back to school... We've had other people who have lived experience themselves or who have had lived experience with family members, loved ones, who've experienced substance use in the past, really wanting to now give back and being able to share their story and, again, not being able to do so.
