TALES FROM TELEWORK

I am heartbroken about the death, unemployment, and grief COVID-19 has bought to this world. It is difficult for all and especially difficult for individuals with substance use disorders and mental illness. I have discovered new challenges and situations that I never thought I would have in my lifetime. My biggest challenge has been isolation from friends, family, grand children, and the work that I love. The first thing I see when I get up in the morning is my computer, and I don't even like technology because it frustrates me.

However, I appreciate The Virtue Center for immediately setting up Telehealth services when we were notified of the "Stay At Home" guidelines. I am thrilled that I am able to talk with and SEE the participants of this program daily. My hope is that we will be able to meet in person and continue in our personal journeys in recovery. Stay well and don't forget to reach out to The Virtue Center if you want to talk and/or do Telehealth services. We remain committed and available and to talk with you during this difficult time:  405-321-0022.
