Meta Moments: Milestones toward Recovery
Thursday, July 28, 2011
12:00 - 1:00 PM
When a woman comes to Meta House a team of counselors, family members, and supporters gathers with her to map out a plan to help her succeed in treatment. Earning her first weekend pass home, enjoying her first visitations with her children, obtaining her GED, moving into our transitional housing program and landing her first job out of treatment – all of these accomplishments are milestones toward a woman’s recovery.
By defining clear benchmarks and having a team of supporters behind her, a woman is more likely to find success in recovery from addiction. Meta House provides the comprehensive services needed in an internationally-recognized family treatment model that ensures women get the help they need to reclaim their lives and rebuild their families. At Milestones toward Recovery, learn how Meta House helps women establish goals in their journeys toward recovery, and hear from a woman who exceeded those goals with the help of your support.

Volunteers Help Residential Clients Plant Produce Garden
Recently, a group of volunteers from Congregation Shir Hadash in Mequon, WI joined Meta House staff and residential clients in building and planting gardens on the north side of our parking lot. Our women and their children will be in charge of taking care of the vegetable gardens, and will also enjoy the produce at harvest time. Thank you to Congregation Shir Hadash for supporting Meta House clients and their children!
