COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM STAFF HIGHLIGHT:

Meet Dawn - fueled by strong coffee, driven by pure compassion.

Dawn is Brightwater's Community Support Program Supervisor. She makes sure everyone remains grounded in our services. She's the first to say 'yes' (after she's had her coffee) and is always there to support every team member, every day.

Supporting recovery, building independence, changing lives - Dawn does it one cup at a time!
We can't espresso much she means to our team!

Brightwater is taking some time this week to bring our staff together. Our sessions and speakers today and yesterday have focused on the impact of mental health work, burnout, care for one another and inspiring stories behind our work.

It's allowed us some time to be together outside our offices to focus on our own mental health and self-care as a team.
