What We Do
Taking Initiative Center (TIC)
Description:
The Taking Initiative Center is an inter-agency collaborative of Marrakech, Goodwill of Southern New England, and the APT Foundation that provides engagement opportunities for individuals who are in the “pre-contemplative” stage of addiction. The center offers meals, access to an off-site shower and laundry facilities, meditation and recovery groups, and assistance with or referral to employment services, education, social services, treatment, and medical consultation. The aim of the program is to engage, motivate and support those served so that they can adopt a healthy daily routine, gain employment, and reconnect with lost relationships and opportunities. This program is funded by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
Eligibility: Individuals interested in services must be residing in New Haven, are currently not actively involved in the service system or in treatment, and have not had success with previous recovery strategies. Once engaged, individuals will be screened for DMHAS eligibility.
