Advocacy is the process of learning more about oneself and the communities that surround us while promoting mutual change. As we learn more about our relationship with the communities we serve, we are better able to contribute to growth and change.
We are able to respect and appreciate the individual's uniqueness. It is our differences that make our communities strong. Members within our communities are acknowledged as each individual potentially offers a positive contribution.
Touchstones celebrates 28 years today! On March 25, 1992, we admitted our first three residents. Today, Touchstones residents and staff see ourselves as family where there is sobriety, growth, mutual respect, and support. Value is placed on each other’s differences creating a spirit of loving, learning, and contributing. Social Model Recovery Systems, Inc took possession of Touchstones, a property in Orange County, and for 28 years, we have been providing services to adolescents! Today, we honored and celebrated this anniversary with a small presentation and a birthday cake (In remembrance of Patti O., as well). The staff of Touchstones is grateful to be involved with this historic moment. Happy Anniversary, Touchstones! We thank everyone who has helped to make this possible.
