Public commenter says crisis services helped her recover, urges others to seek help
Summary
A public commenter recounted losing her children and home during a crisis, credited a recovery program with changing her life, and urged people in crisis to seek help and visit the NCDHHS crisis services website.
A public commenter told the meeting she once lost her children and her home during a period of substance use and homelessness, and credited participation in a recovery program with changing her life. She said she now works to support people facing similar struggles and urged anyone in crisis to seek help.
The commenter described a turning point when someone encouraged her to join a program to "help build a life," and said that after completing that program "mi vida estaba cambiando" (my life was changing). She said, "todos los días cuando viene a trabajar, yo ayudar gente lo mismo que yo antes, y es todo lo que yo quiero hacer" (every day when I go to work, I help people like I was before, and that is all I want to do).
Addressing stigma, the commenter said, "Está bien necesitar ayuda. Sea cual sea tu crisis, tienes opciones" (It is OK to need help. Whatever your crisis, you have options). She directed listeners to the NCDHHS crisis services website for information and resources.
The speaker did not provide a name or an official affiliation in the transcript. The comment framed recovery as a pathway to both personal stability and peer support, and it repeatedly pointed audiences to state-backed crisis resources.
