Christina

“ChooseWell has helped enable me to live a life free of substance use, and I truly do not think I would be where I am today without the support of this organization.”

Christina has been an active participant of ChooseWell Communities since early 2018, after graduating from VOA’s Freedom House. During her first year with ChooseWell, Christina moved into her own apartment and reunified with all three of her children, returning to full time parenting. At the same time, Christina earned her Peer Support Specialist certification and gained employment at VOA in November of 2018, where she is currently employed as a Certified Adult Peer Support and Intake Specialist.

In January 2020, Christina made the decision to return to school, and is currently enrolled at Jefferson Community and Technical College. Christina plans to transfer and complete her undergraduate degree in Social Work at the University of Louisville. Due to her unwavering determination and commitment to herself and her family, December 2020 will mark her fourth year of sobriety! Christina’s long-term goals include obtaining a Master’s degree in Social Work, becoming a substance abuse therapist, buying a house, and getting married.
