Dawn never thought that she had a
problem with drugs or depression, but
those around her knew different. It took
Dawn losing her home and everything that
she cared about to realize that she needed
help. When Dawn first came to Easter Seals
Michigan she was fighting a long history
of substance use and depression. She was
homeless and struggling with instability.
After establishing a treatment plan with
the Easter Seals Michigan staff, she was on
the road to living a sober and independent
life. Over the years there have been many
hurdles, but due to her resiliency and
the ESM staff, Dawn is sober, has her
own apartment and has devoted her life
to helping others while she continues
to receive treatment from Easter Seals
Michigan.

We helPed curtis Find his Place. let us helP you Find yours. Curtis came to Easter Seals Michigan,
and, together, we helped him develop
a treatment plan which included case
management, medication and weekly
therapy sessions. Without transportation
available, Curtis walked to each
appointment because he saw the value in
the treatment that he was receiving. He
formed quick bonds with the staff. “I’d live
here if they let me,” says Curtis. “They are
like family.”
Since starting services with Easter Seals
Michigan, Curtis has been able to get
an apartment, a new job, and endless
opportunities serving as an Adult
Ambassador. “Easter Seals doesn’t just fix
you. They give you the tools you need to
fix yourself,” adds Curtis. He now is able
to return to the streets and preach about
the services he received at Easter Seals
Michigan.

role modelAs a mother, Angela wants the best for
her children. Prior to coming to Easter
Seals Michigan, she was struggling with
intense emotional issues. She knew that she
needed to take care of herself in order to be
there for her kids.
When Angela first came to ESM, she
didn’t feel she had a voice, and coped
with this through substance abuse and
other impulsive decisions. She had
unhealthy relationships and struggled to
communicate her feelings.
Angela’s journey to recovery began
with the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
(DBT) program. This helped Angela make
healthier choices and focus on being in the
moment. She learned how to describe and
participate in the things she was doing, and
the things around her.
Angela has made remarkable progress.
She is attending school and on a list for
housing. Angela still struggles with the
unknown, but knows that she will be okay.
