Barb & Zach’s Story

“When we first met the FAN outreach team, we were living in a tent and struggling just to survive. Without a phone, we felt trapped and isolated, but Ari and Chelsea from the HARM:LESS team, along with our peer recovery coach, never gave up on us.

“They brought us a tent twice, gave us sleeping bags, during the cold winter months, and encouraged us to believe that we deserved better. With their constant support, we’re now five months into recovery, have housing, jobs, and a future filled with hope. We will never be able to pay what they’ve done for us.”

At FAN, we meet people who are struggling with a substance use disorder (SUD) where they’re at—both literally and figuratively. If someone is ready for treatment, we can connect them with the resources they need. But if someone isn’t quite ready to get the help they need, we will meet them where they are, walk with them on their journey, and let them know that they still matter—and that the FAN team cares about them.

Thanks to FAN, Barb and Zach went from the lowest of lows to “a future full of hope.” From living in a tent to recovery, housing, and employment. All because FAN never gave up on them.

JANUARY MACOMB FAN IN-PERSON FORUM

🎨 Topic: EXPRESS YOURSELF: Recovery Through Art

📅 Tuesday, Jan 21 | ⏰ 7:00 PM

📍 St. Michael's Catholic Church
40501 Hayes Rd., Sterling Heights, MI

Did you know that art can benefit people in countless ways?

From reducing stress and anxiety to improving mood…from increasing resilience to raising self-esteem…and from reducing chronic pain and boosting the immune system to enhancing social skills.

Yes, the therapeutic qualities of art can be life-changing. And you don’t have to be a professional artist to reap these rewards!

We hope you can join us for a very special January Macomb FAN Forum as we bring our new Recovery Through Art program to the masses to show you what a key role art can play in your life and recovery.

This hands-on forum will be led by Peer Recovery Coach Lea Jeffire, who is in recovery and also holds a BFA from Oakland University and an MFA from the Parsons School of Design. Lea will use her art expertise and lived experience to lead us through a project while explaining how art and expression can help with the recovery process.
