Fresh Start of Miami Dade inc was my starting point in my recovery, training and now my career path. I have been given opportunities to learn and participate in many of the services that are offered. I will continue to be apart of this community and look forward to seeing the progress of this empowering establishment.
Fresh Start Miami Dade is a wonderful organization that provides training, a Drop-in Center, and assistance to their community. Their fearless leader, Ms. Sandra Baker McQueen, is one of a kind using her story and experience to help people move beyond an "illness framework" to one of long-term recovery. From WRAP, to advocacy, to peer assistance, to recovery in the arts, Fresh Start offers a lot of programs and resources.
Fresh Start of Miami Dade is a treasure. Here people with mental health conditions find guidance, support, fellowship, art therapy, and biweekly meetings with important information on other resources. They gain knowledge, self-confidence, self-reliance and postings that may lead to jobs. It is an oasis where they are not judged, can spend time with other consumers and make long-lasting friendships. Fresh Start is exactly what its name says.
