Muddy Lotus Recovery Building-Recovery Programming
Donation protected
Muddy Lotus Recovery is a nonprofit organization created by survivors of co-occurring mental health and addictions, which is supported and advised by professionals in the behavioral health field with the mission of offering structured support to all those with co-occurring disorders before and after treatment.
What started as six survivors on social media spreading awareness through writing blogs, doing videos and making graphics, has grown into the creating of a board of professionals.
We have SMART recovery certification and have started a group online and hope to acquire a building to have face-to-face meetings for eating disorders, substance use and other co-occurring behavior changes. We aim to hold workshops for recovery patients, community groups and school groups for writing, photography and art promoting body acceptance, self love and worthiness.
We hope to look towards creating a volunteer to work peer counseling program for those coming out of recovery to help them transition from treatment into the everyday life with structure and support from a community who has been there and knows. We are looking to partner with local animal shelters, such as Companions for Animals, for emotional animal support and fundraising as well as awareness efforts.
Our hope is that this funding can bring some much needed hope to the community of Monroe in a time of healing after the pandemic. As a teacher, I see our students struggling, our adults struggling, our professionals struggling and our community struggling. It's time we come out of shame and heal together.
