“2019 was our biggest and greatest year yet… The capstone to 2019 was winning the statewide Utah Ethical Leadership Award. Ethical integrity leads the culture of our community center, and ultimately drives our mission. Our principles revolve around emotional safety, connection, and meeting people where they are in their recovery…”
