Hope Building

In The Media

As a groundbreaking new program, Hope Building is creating unique workforce development opportunities for men and women in substance use recovery. With folks all over the region, state, and nation seeking more information about the program, we wanted to make news stories, video features, program brochures, and more available to you here. 

For members of the media wishing to do a story on Hope Building and/or our trainees, please contact Hope Building Director Shannon Gabbard at 606-436-0497 or email her.
