Treatment Courts Foundation Holds 11th Annual Breakfast
LANSING, Mich. — The Mid-Michigan Treatment Courts Foundation is celebrating its 11th annual breakfast this Friday, October 29, at the Country Club of Lansing beginning at 7:30 am. Hosting this year’s breakfast will be WLNS/Channel 6 News Anchor, Sheri Jones.
The Mid-Michigan Treatment Courts Foundation (formerly Ingham County) is a charitable organization that helps support local sobriety courts and their participants by helping to alleviate everyday financial obstacles that may hinder a participant’s progress towards sobriety. For example, the Foundation may assist with substance abuse counseling fees, dental work, bus passes, drug screenings, utility bills and any other needs that threaten their ability to finish the intensive court-ordered program. Since the Foundation’s inception, there have been over 855 program graduates from around the Ingham County area.
This year’s keynote speaker is Joshua Corts. Having battled addiction through most of his teens and into his early 20’s, Joshua has been in recovery for more than five years and now uses his experience to help others as a Certified Peer Recovery Mentor at the Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton, Eaton and Ingham Counties.
Joshua recently sat down in an interview with Foundation Executive Director, Jerre Cory, where he discussed the recovery process from his perspective and how the Foundation helps those in the program on their journey towards recovery.
