ABOUT US
|
|
Hearts & Ears, Inc. hopes to offer at its doors resources
that will range from information on gay friendly doctors, therapists, transgender
transitioning, housing, food and clothing assistance, medication management and
illness education as well as a whole host of other information that will aid individuals
to make well informed decisions on the road to recovery, the focus of Hearts & Ears.
We believe recovery is very much possible through hope,
personal responsibility, education, advocacy, and support. Not only do we want to
offer the resources but we also wish to offer support in a friendly and inviting
social environment sensitive to the issues concerning the GLBTQ community. At Hearts
and Ears, members can meet new people, share their experiences with others who understand,
regain a sense of involvement and belonging in the community, and the opportunity
to build a healthy support network with others.
So we open our doors and welcome the GLBTQ community and
its allies to Hearts & Ears, Our Wellness Recovery Center.
