I've been involved with Positive Directions (PD) for over 14 years, first as a volunteer and then as an employee for 4 years managing 2 DMHAS (Department of Mental Health and Addiction) State funded Grants to prevent youth substance misuse in the towns of Fairfield, Westport, Weston and Wilton. Later I joined the Board of Directors and am now the Board Chair. I have seen the impact of the Agency's prevention programs in our communities ( PD has an active prevention program in Norwalk currently) and watched the demand for counseling services and support groups jump. PD is staffed by an incredibly talented and dedicated group of professionals, and the agency prides itself on never having refused treatment based on an individual's ability to pay. I am proud to support Positive Directions and hope that you will consider making a donation to help support their ongoing mental health and substance use prevention efforts. It takes a village! Thank you!!
