Rebuild and Restore

Addiction can leave the lives of individuals and their families dramatically altered by the loss of jobs, homes, or damaged relationships. For decades, faith and community-based organizations have been providing the kinds of wrap-around services that can help to restore and rebuild lives and livelihoods. The opportunity here is to connect those programs to SAMHSA's Eight Dimensions of Wellness, which will support a life in recovery. www.GO.USA.gov/xP74Y 

Getting Started

  • Provide help with employment readiness, housing, transportation, food, clothing, or assist with child care.
  • Designate a community leader to connect people to essential services by creating a database or use United Way's www.211.org 
  • Offer life-readiness and coaching programs for formerly incarcerated citizens who are re-entering society.
  • Mentor people on managing their finances.
  • Support local foster care families by gathering resources, donating clothing items or other much-needed necessities, including cribs and car seats.
