April was a busy and exciting month for Life Designs (WA). The residents flew to California to attend the All California Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (ACYPAA) conference in Orange County, CA. ACYPAA is an exciting event each year for Life Designs as it helps to get our young people excited about recovery. The most influential aspect is seeing other young people having fun and thriving in recovery. This is so important to the work that we do, and we make a great effort to take our residents each year. They had a great time and enjoyed the conference!
Caitlin Prunty of Life Designs traveled the Regional Wilderness Therapy Symposium in Asheville, NC in April. While Caitlin was there, she had the pleasure of visiting our fellow NATSAP and All Kinds of Therapy partner programs - Red Oak Recovery, SUWS of the Carolinas, and Four Circles Recovery Center. Experiencing and meeting in person these treatment programs in person was educational. After the conference, Caitlin visited Cumberland Heights in Nashville, TN to learn more about their work and their young adult program. A special thanks to all these amazing programs and the time that they gave to touring the programs.
