Resilient minds and renewed lives
MentorshipMy purpose and passion is to help people who struggle with addiction and mental health.
I am 21 years clean and sober. I have worked in recovery for the last 20 years. I have worked at a recovery church and have always been involved in Christian 12 step groups such as celebrate recovery, etc. I have worked in the secular realm at treatment centers working as a behavior health technician. Both places I worked were dual diagnosis treatment centers. I worked as a certified peer recovery coach for a federal program called FITT. In order to qualify for this program a CPS child protective services case and substance abuse issues were required. I have a bachelor's degree in criminal justice / human services. I have been trained to facilitate "Smart Recovery". I have facilitated many different 12 step groups including MAT (medication assisted therapy). I have been trained in many different areas required at the facility where I worked receiving CEU's from reliance. My purpose and passion is to help people who struggle with addiction and mental health.

About The Host
My name is Cindy and I have been in recovery for 21 years. After a divorce 26 years ago, I spiraled out of control with substance abuse and mental health issues. At the beginning of my recovery I discovered my purpose and that purpose is too support people who struggle with substance abuse and mental health issues. I have continued to discover who I am through peer support where my story and the story of others has given me the freedom to work on the best version of myself. I can not change anyone but I certainly can support others to offer hope and peace.
