A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers who spent their Saturday helping make our campus a more welcoming place for recovery.

From preparing The Hamill Foundation Conference Center for re-opening, cleaning and organizing treatment spaces, refreshing our landscaping, and writing encouraging notes for new clients, every project was completed with care and compassion.

Recovery is built on connection, and your willingness to give your time and talents helps create an environment where healing can begin. Thank you for investing in our mission and the people we serve.

We are honored to be a host site for the WREDI Behavioral Health Summer Externship Cohort. At their orientation last week, Trevor St. Denis presented "Substance Use 101" to introduce externs to the basics of addiction and recovery. Over the summer, our two externs, Hana and Aimee, will work at The Council in various departments, gaining valuable experience as they consider entering the behavioral health profession. Grateful, as always, to our partners at Network of Behavioral Health Providers!

Congratulations to our amazing staff members on their recent educational and professional achievements! We know you will continue to serve our community with the highest level of care and professionalism. From defended dissertations to passed licensure exams, we are so proud of you!

Join us in celebrating Phil Bates, Taylor Blunsen, Tracey Burnett-Greenup, Ramona Cortez, Raylon Haley, Thomson Ivins, Brooke Peterson, and Frederick Weatherspoon 👏🎓🎊

📢We're Hiring! As we strive to meet the growing needs of the recovery community, we are expanding our team. The Council has several open positions, both full- and part-time, across departments. Visit councilonrecovery.org/careers for more information about each role.
