The Voice Fall 2011 Highlights
News and opinion for recovering people and professionals
Reaching out like never before
Dear Friends and Fellow Travelers,
Hazelden has big dreams and exciting plans to help more young people faced with addiction.
Our first-of-its-kind collegiate recovery residence, Tribeca Twelve, opened this fall in New York City. Our two-year, $30 million youth facilities expansion will get underway this fall at our Plymouth, Minn., campus. And our Butler Center for Research continues to advance the field's knowledge of the most effective addiction treatment practices and recovery resources for youth. We have so much news to share that this entire issue of the Voice is dedicated to youth initiatives.
Why are young people at the heart of Hazelden's efforts? Because there's so much at stake. Teens and young adults who have addiction are checked out on life. They miss out on so much of the good stuff of growing up--being with true friends they can count on, figuring out what they're really good at, going all out to reach personal goals.
As our billboards and bus signs around the Twin Cities declare, "When you're wasted, I'm wasted--Your Life." That pretty much says it all about what's at stake. And it pretty much sums up why Hazelden is reaching out like never before to help young people and their families. Please read more about our initiatives and join Hazelden's efforts to rekindle dreams and reclaim hope.
