Community volunteers are recruited and complete 15 hours of training, which includes trauma-informed care. Groups of 4–6 volunteers form a team, referred to as a “table,” serving as advocates, mentors, and a support system for one woman, affectionately called “our friend,” who is in recovery from substance use disorder. These teams meet for one hour a week over the course of a year, collectively providing more than 400 hours of personalized support.
Even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the lotus produces the most beautiful flower.
Tina not only shared her expertise, she brought a spirit of encouragement
that inspired confidence and resilience. Tina facilitated critical connections, shared resources, and championed innovative ideas, enabling the OpenDoor
to flourish. Her mentorship not only helped bring the vision to life but also instilled a culture of collaboration and purpose that continues to shape its success.
Through her dedicated mentorship, Tina played a pivotal role in establishing OpenDoor.
We are forever grateful for her wisdom, kindness and guidance.
Our mission is to partner with women on their journey of recovery to reclaim their lives and embrace long term sobriety, fostering holistic healing and renewed purpose.
Advocating for women in recovery from substance use disorder is vital for breaking stigmas, and ensuring access to life-changing resources. Women face unique challenges in recovery, including societal pressures, trauma, and caregiving responsibilities, which often require tailored solutions.
By forming supportive friendships with women in recovery, they learn to amplify their voices, foster understanding, and create meaningful change in their lives and communities.
When we champion their needs, we create a safe space for healing with dignity and building sustainable futures. Advocacy not only supports individual recovery journeys but also keeps families together, builds strong communities, and transforms generational addiction and poverty.
