The New England ATTC is partnering with New Life Ministries II, Connecticut’s first Black-owned, faith-based, and peer-led recovery organization, to certify peers as Integrated Healing Facilitators (IHFs). IHFs are people who are in recovery and have been trained to use their life experiences as tools to assist individuals in all stages of their recovery. IHFs are available for one-to-one support to meet with an individual struggling with an addiction, mental health, or reentry-related issue. 

In July of 2024, 25 members of the faith-based, peer-recovery community received intensive training from New Life Ministries II and the New England ATTC to continue to build the capacity of the IHF program.
