For twenty years, Mary Jadwisiak and Holding the Hope have been championing recovery.
Mary understands the power of hope because her life has been transformed by it. Her personal story of recovery from PTSD, addiction, poverty and isolation is woven though out each keynote, workshop or consultation that she provides. Similarly, each trainer, keynote speaker and consultant that works with Holding the Hope brings their story of hope and recovery into their work. That’s what sets Holding the Hope apart- they all know what they’re talking about because they lived it.
This truly unique combination of lived experience with recovery and professional expertise is exactly what you are looking for. If you provide services to people who experience mental illness or addiction, Holding the Hope has something you need.
