Recovery (cognitive behavioral therapy). They also sponsor speakers and have celebrations.
The community center is inviting with colorful banners and murals on the walls. It has pool and ping pong tables, TV, free WiFi, couches, and soft drinks. The objective of True Colors, per Mr. Goldman, is to “meet people where they are.” They have certified peer mentors whose services are “free to anyone who wants it.” To request a mentor, go to their website: truecolorsrecovery.org and request a mentor. The response will come 72 hours later. Many of their clients are involved with the criminal justice system. Mentors work their own hours, which means they may be available evenings and weekends.
