"Friendship
House enabled me to gain respect for myself, my family and my
people. I have my family and most of all I have become part of
the bigger picture, our community. I owe my eternal strength,
hope and time to the program."
- Cindy 
"I’m
a survivor of domestic violence and 10 years of meth use. This program
helped me help myself with changing one thing about me….everything!
Friendship House’s intensive program helped me with inner child
workshops and many process groups that helped me deal with all my
underlying issues of my childhood. Now I can live clean, sober and
not co-dependent anymore! I love my life now. I work at the Native
American Health Center in the dental department. I am now living
in transitional housing and most of all, I live positive in the
community. Thank you Friendship House." - Jacqueline
