From the Executive Director:
As we celebrate over thirty-five years of continuous operation, we reflect on the past and look to the future. The commitment and direction this organization has taken over the years have resulted in a high level of expertise recognized and awarded by the community, political stakeholders, and our colleages in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation services.
We have been especially committed to continuing education and training of our staff. Aside from our exclusive use of certified counselors. Many staff members are success stories themselves and understand the multiple vulnerabilities and hurdles of the rehabilitative process experienced by the families we serve. The organization has been successful in integrating best practice policies with professional and para professional staff who are dedicated to making a difference in this specialized field. This integration is born of our commitment to ever increasing efficiency, competency and integrity. A pronounced internal commitment to quality programming and staff that grow and develop to meet the unprecedented challenges of the substance abuse recovery industry lead to a partnership with Learning as Leadership http://learnaslead.com. Keeping the doors open with meager resources has required maximum use of intellectual capital. Thanks to Learning as Leadership the Mini Twelve Step House is now a leaderful learning organization with staff and managers that are able to respond to a changing environment with passion, skill, and a commitment to the higher good of the clients and community we serve.
Services have expanded along a specially crafted continuum of care designed to move women and their families from intake and assessment to self-sufficiency. Mini Twelve Step House, Inc., is governed by a board of directors that is committed to the organizations mission and who deeply care about the work we do. The current leadership team has successfully guided the organization around the curve of relentlessly emerging new technology and unprecedented resource scarcity resulting from a shift in the nation's priorities. As we celebrate the election of Barack Obama's presidency, a return to hope and changed has energized the country. The president's principled leadership is an aspiration for all that hold positions created to serve. A link between the president's leadership style and the training of MTSH leadership has been made in the article found at: Visit: http://learnaslead.com/programs/EcosystemLeader.htm for an interesting article written by a conflict resolutions specialist from Learning as Leadership.
Our success is the success of our stakeholders. We celebrate over 35 years of partnership with all levels of community, including political and community leaders; as well as an array of supportive organizations with whom we network and collaborate to continually improve our ability to meet the needs of our clients. These circles of partnerships and collaborations have grown wider and more important each year. We exist because you care.
