ORIGIN: The Voices of Recovery - April Event is an event that allows Coulee Recovery Center to share who they are and what they do. If we don’t talk about addiction and educate about addiction how can we truly help our community understand the need for support for individuals seeking recovery. Each year, at the end of April, Coulee holds a brunch, usually held at the Cargill Room, that provides an overview of Coulee Recovery Center and a speaker who shares their perspective on substance use disorder and recovery - may be someone who is thriving in recovery sharing their story.

“Life begins to end the moment we become silent about the things that matter!” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
