Testimonials
Lund’s Early Childhood Education Program (LECP)
“We’re so happy and grateful to be a Lund family. We love it and our daughter loves it too.” – LECP parent
Residential Treatment Program
“My experience at Lund was unforgettable and life-changing. Going through early recovery and having support from Lund’s residential treatment program was a huge part of my success so far. Plus, I can still access support after six and a half years. Before Lund, I had never been warmly welcomed into a community, and I’m so grateful that I have this community now.” – Ashlee Loyer, Residential Treatment Program alumni
“Lund is a place where a group of lost women go to write new chapters and build a stable positive foundation for their families. It is a place where reunification can and does happen, it is a place where recovery from trauma and addiction happens, it is a stepping stone to a brighter future. When those same women leave Lund, they are no longer lost. They have found their way and continue to do so through connection. When we leave Lund we are transformed into something beautiful.” – Stephanie Kacanich, Residential Treatment Program alumni
Regional Partnership Program (RPP)
“Lund RPP has been instrumental in partnering me with a therapist who, after 20 years of seeking treatment, has been able to correctly diagnose my PTSD contributing to my almost life-long struggle with alcohol use. This has been a life-changing opportunity that I am eternally grateful for. While in therapy for only a few short months, I have been given the tools and am being shown the skills to make mind and life-altering improvements. I am looking forward to a very bright future with my sons and living my best life; for them and for me.” – RPP client
“This year, I was able to witness the reunification of a mom with her child after a significant battle with SUD. She just marked 9 months sober!” – RPP Case Manager
Adoption
“At Project Family, we believe that there are no unadoptable children only unfound homes and we are committed to making sure that every child has a family.” – Wanda Audette, Director of Adoption at Lund
“I wake up every day thankful to Lund for helping me to make my family.” – Adoptive parent
