DISTRICT COUNCIL 16 HAVE YOUR BACK`
“It is never too late. No matter how bad it was, there is hope and there is an answer.” – Jeff Roberts.
“Behind every statistic is a person, a family, a community.” – Dr. Deb
“DC16 is giving children back their mothers and fathers. All the wages and benefits mean nothing if we’re losing lives.” – Daniel Lincoln.
“It’s okay not to be okay. Asking for help doesn’t make you weak—it’s one of your greatest strengths.” – Angela Njoroge.
At the heart of this effort is James Boster, Director of Mental Health & Addiction Services, and Robert Williams, DC16 BMST, whose vision and leadership made this program a reality. Robert recognized the urgent need for change and championed the creation of the Recovery Program—because of them, lives are being saved.
Together, they’ve helped save 99 lives so far—and we’re just getting started. With your support, we can save even more.
DC16 marca el camino:
Breaking stigma
Providing real resources
Restoring hope to families
Giving our members back their lives
We’re building more than buildings—we’re building each other up. If you’re struggling, please reach out to James Boster at jamesb@dc16iupat.org.
You are not alone. We understand, we care, and we’re here to help.
