As a Black, Female, Veteran-Owned and certified LLC, we serve Black, Latino, and Tribal communities, including those who are also veterans, who have been disproportionately affected by the War on Drugs. We address and prioritize cultural healing from trauma and institutional racism through education, advocacy, and curriculum development specifically tailored for these communities. Our comprehensive approach includes training, coaching, and peer support to foster recovery and empowerment among Black, Latine, and Tribal community individuals.

We offer Principles of Recovery using language and training tailored to these communities. We provide training for individuals to offer peer support in their neighborhoods, homes, churches, and traditional cultural community groups and organizations. Our efforts educate these groups to build resilience, recover from systemic inequities, and empower individuals and communities to heal from the harm associated with systemic inequities. Additionally, we train individuals and institutions to reduce barriers that cause systemic inequities.

Our trainers, who are Black, Latino, and Tribal community members, are certified Peers and associate counselors in the state of Washington. They bring their lived experiences and professional expertise to ensure our programs are culturally relevant and impactful. By combining the Principles of Recovery with our training programs, we equip individuals to provide peer support and promote healing within their communities.
