💜 In honor of #NationalRecoveryMonth we're highlighting one father's inspiring journey to reclaim his life. Harley connected to The Village for the help he needed to overcome a lifelong challenge with addiction and reunite with his daughter. As part of The Village’s Fatherhood Engagement Services program, he gained valuable skills to be a positive force for his child.
“For anyone out there who’s struggling, don’t give up. The Village could lead you into a life that you have never imagined.” #recovery
