A Reason to Celebrate!

Hi Everyone,

On Friday, June 15th, Recovery University (RU) held its graduation ceremony at the Trinity Church on the Green.  RU is a 60 hour training that takes place over 6 or 7 weeks.  Students must pass an examination to earn State Certification as a Recovery Specialist.   Liberty had three graduates in the most recent New Haven class.

It is exciting to see that the people who chose to enroll in the training came from three different programs – TLP, Safe & Secure and SHP.  They were encouraged by their case managers to apply and as they awaited acceptance.  Liberty offered space at the Church Street offices for RU to hold the New Haven area session.  The students got support from their families, staff, and friends to finish the program.

It takes tremendous effort for adults to return to school and to start the process of returning to the workforce.  LCS is a supportive community to people as they recover their lives.  This is just one example of how the community comes together to achieve positive outcomes.

You might be interested to know that two of the recent graduates are Women of Liberty - they are members of our Women's Program!
