ENCOURAGER
Encouragers are graduates or those currently in recovery who will reach out to an individual who is considering starting their healing journey through the Shelter from the Storm© curriculum. Once provided the contact information the encourager will get in touch with the person and share their experience and journey through recovery. The goal is to provide hope that healing is possible with the appropriate support, prayer, recovery tools and their personal work during the recovery process.
Once the encourager makes connection with the individual and shares her story, her assignment is then complete. If you would like your name added to the rotation list of encouragers to be contacted automatically upon interest of joining the support group, please let us know.
