Recovery Supports
Street Outreach
Net of Compassion has become the major point of intervention for individuals struggling with active addiction and poverty in the Worcester, Massachusetts region. Our volunteers are out on the streets every day providing prayer, encouragement, relapse prevention counseling, and in some cases Narcan intervention. We are able to develop strong, trusting relationships with people that are not currently accessing traditional services. We are able to bridge the barriers and find people the services they need for long term recovery.
Peer Recovery Support
Many Net of Compassion volunteers are persons in long term recovery themselves. Peer volunteers that are sober connect with our clients daily through our food and clothing pantry as well as our Saturday meals. Supports often include transportation to recovery meetings, one on one counseling, faith based counseling, and even prayer. As a faith based organization, we care about spiritual needs as well as physical and emotional ones.
Detox and Shelter Bed Acquisition
Director Richie Gonzalez and his team help people that are ready to get off the streets and into a recovery programs and housing. Volunteers will spend hours on the phone finding an available bed in a detox, a half-way house or independent living. This happens at any hour that a client says they are ready for help, day or night, 24/7.
Sex Trafficking Outreach
Net of Compassion peer volunteers forge close relationships with women involved in the sex industry and find out what kind of help they are ready to receive. Many women are struggling with addiction, abuse, PTSD and homelessness. Our peer volunteers work closely with these women to help find appropriate services and counseling. We strive to break the cycle they are stuckin and ultimately free them.
