Meet our Director of Women's Firstep, Jamie!

Jamie has led with a steady confidence and a clear belief of the impact of Firstep. One of the most visible examples of this has been her work strengthening our partnerships - communicating why the therapeutic community model matters and how it truly changes lives.

We are so glad she is a part of the OKCMA team! 💙

This photo was taken during a recent outing to the First Americans Museum, and it perfectly captures why moments like these matter so much.

In this picture are men in all different stages of recovery and life. Some are brand new to Firstep, others are close to graduating. And yet here they are, showing up together, sharing space, building memories, and being part of something bigger than themselves.

Outings like this are about more than just a fun day. They create positive memories, strengthen unity, and remind our residents that they belong. That recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in community.

We are incredibly grateful for volunteers like Michael Massey and for all the individuals, churches, and community partners who continue to pour into our residents with so much intention and care. You help make moments like this possible, and the impact reaches far beyond a single photo.

This is what togetherness looks like.

Oklahoma Electric Cooperative awarded a $5,000 Operation Round Up grant to support Firstep and we are so grateful for their investment in recovery!

This support helps remove real barriers for the men and women in our long-term residential recovery programs. From transportation to essential items like bedding and hygiene supplies, these resources help people show up, work hard, rebuild stability, and move toward long-term recovery.

We love seeing Oklahoma businesses investing in their communities. Thank you to OEC for believing in second chances, supporting workforce building, and helping individuals recover lives. Your partnership makes an impact!

Our door decorating contest was a blast and Women’s Firstep came out on top! Along with gift cards and a pizza lunch, they got to choose someone to take a pie to the face… and they picked our awesome Men’s Firstep Assistant Director, Nicolas Byers.

He was such a great sport and even managed to pie a few others back. It was hilarious and such a good reminder of how lucky we are to have a team that works hard, loves big, and still knows how to have fun together.

Congrats to Women’s Firstep and shoutout to Nicolas for the laughs! 🎉🥧💙

We’re so thankful for amazing community partners like DCCCA Oklahoma and Substance Use Prevention Alliance Oklahoma County!

Together, we’re building a stronger, safer community by ensuring life-saving resources like naloxone are available to those who need them. Every dose of naloxone represents a potential life saved—and every life saved represents another chance at recovery. Partnerships like this make a real difference every single day. 💙

Thank you so much OKC Metro Alliance, Inc. for picking up naloxone and helping save lives! We appreciate all our community partners and the collaborative support to best serve Oklahoma.

If you'd like to have some naloxone on hand, you can order your free kit from okimready.org
