"Telehealth has been a wonderful tool to aide me in my recovery, especially during the trying times that the world finds itself in right now. Social, emotional and financial pressures have been multiplied greatly, but it's nice to have the resources available for me to reach out and discuss whatever issues I'm facing."
Council Client
"Telehealth combined with the support of my recovery coach has provided a stable foundation on which I have flourished. COVID-19 has demanded changes from us that have not been easy to deal with, but I have stayed true to my recovery."
Council Client
"The Council has gone above and beyond through virtual online care to make sure that I feel safe, stay out of isolation, and remain steadfast in my recovery plan during COVID-19. I don't know what I would do or where I would be without my virtual recovery community."
Council Client
"Being able to continue services using telehealth allowed me to offer my middle and high school students support during this challenging time. This helped them to build routines, find a small sense of normalcy and strengthen their coping skills."
