Trish is a strong advocate for those in recovery, as losing her best friend to a 17-year struggle with opioid use disorder, her passion is focusing on community-wide prevention efforts, stigma reduction and ensuring help is available for those who are seeking a path to recovery.

The ACTION Recovery Resource Center is here to get you the help you need or to be that helping hand to walk with you in recovery."
