As We Grow

2023 December

We are hiring for two new programs — Life Unites Us and Hospital BRIDGE Expansion.

Life Unites Us is an evidence-based program designed to reduce community-based stigma through sharing stories of recovery and surviving loss; community-based events, and sharing resources with our community partners. We are hiring an Outreach/ Communications Coordinator to work on this program (and on the Bridges not Barrier program).

The Hospital BRIDGE Expansion Program seeks to draw the best from the Hospital BRIDGE Programs throughout the Tampa Bay region to increase their impact. Directed by Dr. Heather Henderson, we are seeking to hire 2 Peer Supervisors and 3 Lead Peer Recovery Specialists.
