Feature Quote
“Passion and commitment, you know, to wanting to help. So we've always had, in our history of providing this program, kind of the ultimate of diversity. So diversity in terms of ethnicity, in terms of age, in terms of in the field not in the field. In recovery, not in the recovery. So it's different than when you go through a university-based program where everybody comes into a bachelor's or a master's with about the same level of education, with a training program.”
