Project Recovery serves Wisconsin individuals and communities with the focus on Brown, Dane, Jefferson, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine, Rock, Walworth and Waukesha counties. In those counties, Frenette said, there are more Project Recovery staff working to provide services. In other counties, people can still call the hotline to be referred to resources in their area.
Project Recovery also hosts a podcast and weekly Facebook discussion group, said Frenette.
She said the program helps with a variety of issues.
One client had a school-age boy whose father died of COVID-19, said Frenette, and his mother also not able to afford his son s karate lessons. Frenette said Project Recovery found a free grief support group for kids and found a church that had a program to cover the cost of karate lessons.
