Join Serenity House Communities in Making a Difference

Todd has been in recovery for over three years. He lived in active substance-use disorder for 28 years. Todd says, the disease of SUDS took away all his hopes and dreams, till he became clean and started his journey in recovery. Todd is a CCAR trained Recovery Coach & now our Director of Recovery & Wellness. He has been working hard within the organization to provide services for men & women in recovery. Todd uses the practice of meditation and Acudetox to sustain his recovery. He has a weekly men’s meditation group (Thursday's @ 5pm) he facilitates at Serenity House in Flint.  

Darci graduated with her BA from the University of Michigan-Flint and has been helping others from a young age, volunteering at nursing homes, soup kitchens, and clothing closets in her hometown of Clio.

Family is everything to Darci. She treasures being a mom to her daughter and son, considering them her greatest joy. Darci is blessed with amazing friends and family, a support system she cherishes deeply.

Her extensive experience with non-profits, including the American Cancer Society and Whaley Children's Center, drew her to Serenity House. Witnessing the tangible help provided daily, from rides to peer recovery counseling, inspired her to join our team.

Having faced significant loss in the past six years, including her father, sister, and mother, Darci's personal recovery journey fuels her passion for aiding others. She feels honored and excited to be part of Serenity House, and we are thrilled to have her with us.

My Name is Nicole! As of writing this I am in my final semester at Michigan State University. I am majoring in the field of Psychology with my minor in Cognitive Science. I also work in the Close 

Relationships Lab at  MSU under Dr. Chopik.  My dream career is to become a Clinical Psychologist and I feel Serenity House Communities is a valuable step in my journey towards this dream. 

I feel thankful to work with those in substance use recovery and for the unique perspective and wisdom this work gives me.  Serenity House also gives me freedom to learn and experiment with my data analysis and through my brief time here I have greatly expanded my skills with Excel/ Sheets and even picked up some coding ability. Outside of work and school I love my family and friends, the gym, my pets, and my wonderfully supportive partner.

 Alicia plays a vital role in connecting SHC with the community, raising awareness about substance use disorder, codependency, and trauma, and advancing our mission of holistic recovery.

Her work fosters meaningful partnerships and supports individuals on their path to healing, embodying SHC’s core values of courage, perseverance, authenticity, accountability, acceptance, and community.

We are grateful for Alicia’s dedication and the impact she’s making every day in building recovery-friendly communities.
