October 18, 2025, is my sobriety date and the day I made the life-changing decision to admit myself into treatment. That decision changed the course of my life. While in treatment, I was surrounded by Peer Support Specialists and Behavioral Health Technicians who were also in recovery and used their own experiences to help those of us still struggling with addiction. Watching them support and encourage others is when I realized, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Helping people in need has always been a passion of mine. Just 1 Life gave me the opportunity, knowledge, and skills to take the next step toward my career in the Behavioral Health field. I am proud to say that I am now PRSS certified, and I am currently attending Grand Canyon University, pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Health Science. I am incredibly grateful to Just 1 Life and especially my instructor, Heather Jensen, for everything she has done throughout my training. Heather was phenomenal. She was professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and made me feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the entire curriculum. My recovery journey has given me a new purpose, and I’m excited to use what I’ve learned to help others find hope and believe that change is possible. Thank you, Just 1 Life, for helping me accomplish another one of the many goals I’m working toward. This is only the beginning! ❤️🙏🏽Posted on Google![]()

My instructor Stephen was a great teacher and very helpful with helping me to properly understand and comprehend the material being taught. He was very patient and has a lot of similar experiences and struggles that I to have been faced with an had to learn and grow from and move forward and prevail and he was a great example of how God can turn your setback into a setup for the better of your future and how no matter what struggles you are faced with in life that you can overcome them and use your testimony and pain in a positive manner and grow from it and learn better ways to cope and help others who's facing the same every day struggles as yourself and it's not too late and God can turn around any situation and you can achieve if you put forth the effort and believePosted on Google![]()
