Gracee arrived at the Western Maryland Consortium struggling with past decisions. Supported through our program, Gracee was connected with an experienced, empathetic career counselor that assisted her in overcoming barriers such as recovery and lack of a high school diploma.
In addition to working on obtaining her GED, WMC’S Sheryl Sterne worked to provide openings for Gracee along her chosen career path, becoming a Peer Recovery Support Counselor. She obtained available positions at various local recovery shelters in the region, where her supervisors praised Gracee, her work ethic, and provided several opportunities for growth. Her supervisors and colleagues regard her as the “perfect fit.”
Gracee’s future looks brighter than ever, and she has plans to continue her education after achieving her GED and become a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist through core training options that Stephanie will be offering locally.
