📍 Where: Freedomworks

Let’s empower each other with the knowledge to save lives. We need you.

The largest barrier to recovery is the workforce shortage: as the only RCO in Minnesota providing free CPRS training, we have created the largest CPRS workforce in the state in less than 18 months. We have facilitated over 90,000 service hours to date.

Reflecting on Paulo Coelho's words: "Life has many ways of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once." 🌟

In recovery, these tests come in many forms. Whatever you face today, whether calm or chaos, remember that you have the resilience to overcome. Stay strong and connected! 💪🌍
