To whom it may concern,

I am writing on behalf of Face the Facts to express our full support for Impact Life's grant application under the Supporting Children, Youth, and Families Affected by the Drug Crisis initiative (grant number 15POVC-23-GK-01565-MUMU), administered by JBS.

As a leading addiction awareness and behavioral health navigation provider in our community, Face the Facts recognizes the critical need for initiatives that address substance misuse and support individuals and families affected by the drug crisis. We commend Impact Life for its dedication to serving the community and for its commitment to this important cause.

We believe that Impact Life's participation in this initiative will have a significant impact on the well-being of children, youth, and families affected by substance use. By recruiting, training, certifying, and deploying paid peer recovery coaches (PRCs), Impact Life will provide invaluable support to individuals seeking recovery and will help improve the overall health and stability of affected families.

Furthermore, we applaud Impact Life's commitment to establishing organizational practices that prepare, compensate, and support family-centered, peer recovery coaches. This approach aligns with Face the Facts mission.

We are confident that Impact Life's expertise, dedication, and innovative approach will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by the drug crisis. We are eager to collaborate with Impact Life and other community partners to address this critical issue and promote the health and well-being of our community.

Thank you for considering our support for Impact Life's grant application. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at Penny@ftf.org or 302-650-7432.

Sincerely,

PennyAnne Badders-Rogers
