Hello, my name is Raelene Howard. For much of my life, I struggled with multiple disorders, substance abuse, and mental health challenges. By the grace of God, I found freedom from addiction and the urge to self-medicate three and a half years ago, beginning a new chapter of healing and purpose.

Through recovery, I moved from living in my car to living in a loving home, and from abusive relationships and unhealthy friendships to meaningful, supportive, and healthy connections. I was led back to my faith, and my relationship with the Lord is stronger than ever.

I am deeply grateful to work with youth who are struggling, serving as a source of guidance, encouragement, and friendship. My mission is to impact the lives of the young people I work with by offering hope, support, and the tools they need to get back on the right track. I believe support is one of the most powerful foundations of recovery, and I am honored to be that support for the youth in our community.
