About Us
And A Bit of Our History
Originally connected to Howard Community College, we have since grown into an independent, community-rooted organization. Our work is grounded in the belief that people hold the wisdom and capacity to navigate their own challenges when given the right support. We walk alongside individuals, families, and groups to facilitate conversations that restore trust, mend relationships, and build stronger communities.
