Project Courage
Project Courage helps people heal and find purpose by listening to their stories. We have learned, as a community, that each of us has pieces we wish to forget. Yet from those pieces, we learn that we are wise, heroic, expressive, creative, and spirited. Being human is not either darkness or light, it is a path blazed through the two. Using the stages of change, internal family systems, and other models that help rekindle the connection to those lost parts of ourselves, we will nurture a passionate and purposeful path forward. Beyond a drug rehab or substance abuse center, we make space for you to find your truth.
