"Friends" of the Veritas Villa Foundation
In January, 1979 the "Friends" of Veritas Villa Foundation was formed by some dedicated "Friends" -- people in 12 Step programs who cared about the "new person." Their purpose is to (1) provide a contact and follow-up for guests when they leave the Villa; a "Friend" will contact them and take them to a meeting or two, and (2) to keep the new person in contact with the Villa and help him/her to enjoy life in sobriety by participating in the Villa "Fun in Sobriety" activities -- picnics, etc.

Welcome to our website. I am Michele Panko, CASAC and have been working at Veritas Villa for 10 years. I began as an Intern on the Women’s Unit and stayed on to become a Counselor’s Aid until I began my counseling career with the Women’s Treatment Team. I find my work extremely fulfilling and rewarding helping women to start their lives over in recovery as I was helped 13 years ago when I began my own journey. I look forward to seeing you when you visit the Villa. |
