Facing the Future with Goals

At the end of each Circle of Women series we ask the women residents: What are your future goals and what did you learn in The Circle of Women program that will help you achieve them? Here are some responses:

"I learned that I can reach my goals no matter what, I just have to have a plan. The program allowed me to relax and talk with other women about things I never talk about."
- Sandra, Phoenix House

"My future goal is to go to college and get [back] my home and children. I want to stay sober, work, save money and live a happy life. This group helped me have patience and love myself." - Jocelyn, Odyssey House

"My future goals are to complete my training and Veritas. The program showed me ways to work smart, and not hard." - Resident at Veritas Therapeutic Community

"My goals are to continue my education and get my own place. The Circle of Women program helped me realize that if I ask for support and stick with what I want, I can achieve it." - Shelly Anne, Phoenix House
