Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Justice
At Fellowship Recovery, we believe our strength comes from the diverse experiences, perspectives, and talents of our team. We foster a culture of respect, inclusion, collaboration, open communication, and belonging, where every employee has a voice and a stake in our shared success.
Our commitment to justice extends to the people we serve. We recognize that addiction is often connected to experiences of stigma, inequality, and other barriers to well-being. Through compassionate, respectful care, we work to reduce stigma, restore dignity, and help individuals build stronger futures.
We approach both our clients and one another with empathy, honesty, and humanity—because we are stronger together.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT WORKING AT FELLOWSHIP?
“My favorite part is providing access to substance use treatment for men and women seeking recovery. I’m often the first point of contact—sometimes when someone is in crisis—and I get to meet them with compassion and offer a real solution. That moment matters.”
“The part where things ‘click’ for people. Whether it’s a client gaining insight, a supervisee growing clinically, or the team finally aligning on something complex, I really value those moments. I enjoy helping people develop and watching that progress happen in real time.”
“Supporting interns as they gain confidence, strengthen their clinical skills, and grow into effective counselors. Seeing their progress and growth over time is one of my favorite parts of the role.”
“Creating an environment that feels peaceful and comfortable. I’ve especially loved sharing the things that bring me peace — teaching the ladies about birds and wildlife, doing yoga or meditation, or just spending time outside. Recovery can involve a lot of hard things, so I love sharing the healthy, softer ways to move through it.”
“The part I enjoy most about my current job is collaborating with my coworkers to solve problems that seem to have us stuck in our tracks.
It’s rewarding to be able to help the team overcome barriers and find solutions. I also love watching the growth of our clients from day one at intake all the way to graduation. It’s a beautiful thing to witness…”
“I like helping people who are often ‘overlooked’ in society.”
“Seeing those ‘light bulb’ moments with clients is the best part of my job. Plus, I genuinely love the people I work with—they’re a big reason I enjoy coming to work every day.”
“I really value connecting with our staff and getting to know what makes each person unique. I enjoy identifying ways to streamline processes and solving problems that support both our teams and our facilities—it’s where I can make the biggest impact.”
“Connecting people to resources, whether it be clients admitting, counselors looking for a referral source, other agencies needing the services of Fellowship, or sharing information that I have gathered. There are a lot of resources and many ways to help.”
“Two things: the variety of clients I get to work with — the diversity keeps you sharp and not knowing what to expect keeps it interesting.
And the staff. It’s been a while since I’ve worked with such a great team. Fellowship is lucky to have this crew. Nothing but respect.”
“I thoroughly enjoy the day-to-day challenges and successes. You never know what you might walk into. I adore seeing the kids, the parents, and the families come in at their lowest possible point and work hard to show up and secure a bright future for their kids, partners, and most importantly themselves… Watching how far they can grow once they have gained confidence and skills of empowerment.”
“It’s a three-way tie: I enjoy helping people, and I enjoy seeing clients move further from addiction and destruction as they put in the work toward a better life — their wins reinforce their confidence and give them a plan at graduation they can believe in. And the Fellowship Recovery employees are a joy. Everyone I’ve worked with is supportive, positive, and kind.”
“I really enjoy working with and collaborating with my colleagues and our supervisory team. I also love interacting with our clients, especially in my psychoeducation, grief and loss, and trauma groups.
It’s also wonderful to meet many of our clients through the DAs that I complete. I love having that hour to connect with them and hopefully help support their mental health needs while they are with us.”
“I love being able to support my staff and be that place they can come to to get feedback, support, a pep talk, chit chat, or just a place to find peace.”
“I enjoy seeing clients start to make connections between the topics we cover, how they relate to each other, and how what they learn can apply to their lives in recovery.”
“The work we do has real purpose and meaning.”
“Watching clients grow and truly excel—both in their personal recovery journeys and as leaders. Seeing them transition from being responsible for only themselves to taking on responsibility for others is incredibly powerful.””
“I’ve always been drawn to work that involves helping people grow, feel
supported, and succeed.”
“I really enjoy the group sessions in the morning. I feel like it sets the tone of the day and grounds me. I enjoy team building with the groups and getting everyone in the right headspace to be open minded and begin to learn what the day and the universe has for us.”
“I’m really proud of learning how to balance being supportive with still holding expectations.”
“I love the people I work with and being able to give clients the extra push they need to reach their life goals. I also LOVEEE my coworkers! On the days when it is hard to get out of bed, I know I have a great crew to come to every day. They have truly become my second family.”
“Being able to watch Fellowship Grow!”
“I enjoy helping people set themselves up for success upon graduation — and seeing them on their graduation day.”
