About "Breaking the Cycle"

Classes are Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:30am to 12:00pm or 1:15pm to 2:45pm.


The mission of our Breaking the Cycle Class is to help participants address their thinking, behavior, and/or substance use disorders in order to break the cycle of generational poverty.


Participants will set goals for their future, learn financial literacy and employment skills, and learn 4 key skills for overcoming substance use and criminal behavior, and develop a Recovery Maintenance Plan (RMP).
