Our 2025 Strategic Plan
In partnership with consultant Greg Hessel, the Board and Co-Executive Directors of Turning Point developed a strategic plan for the 2025 calendar year. The plan seeks to strengthen the board through recruitment and development, stabilize organizational leadership, work towards financial stability, and to continue to develop and strengthen policies. Each of these four broader goals encompass multiple sub-objectives (e.g., Develop a fundraising strategy) for which we have, in turn, identified multiple actionable steps (e.g., determine best constituent data platform, speak to professional fundraisers) and target completion dates. We are happy to observe our efforts paying off in real time as we continue executing over the course of the year, and we are looking forward to building from this foundation to set tangible overarching goals that extend well beyond the current calendar year.
Maintain A Safe Supportive Environment for People in Recovery
A major obstacle to sustaining recovery post-treatment is coming back to the same social environment you had before seeking help.
Turning Point offers a safe, supportive place to continue one’s recovery path and make new connections. To this end, we intend to improve our accessibility to mobility-impaired members of our community and review policies and procedures to address the safety needs of all members of our community, including identity-based harm and conflict resolution work.
Expand Recovery Groups and Meetings
We provide many (always 100% free to the public) evidence-based and population specific recovery groups out of our center as well as out in the community every day of the week.
We also host free recovery-specific wellness activities, like ear acupuncture and group meditation.
In the coming year we intend to expand the diversity of our group offerings to include programs such as Seeking Safety, as well as strengthening our existing meetings through outreach and collaboration.
Improve Access to Individual Recovery Coaching and Outreach
Certified coaches offer one-on-one and family support at our center and out in the community at various outreach sites to help navigate the challenges of the recovery journey with personalized attention.
Our coaches are committed to finding new opportunities to offer offsite coaching services and increase access for underserved populations, especially in rural and remote areas of the county. Additionally, TPWC is developing a Department of Corrections Recovery Coaching program to serve the needs of incarcerated individuals as well as those working with the local Probation & Parole office.
Grow and Nurture Collaborative Partnerships
We know we are stronger together. TPWC has many important relationships all over our community, from having embedded recovery coaches in emergency rooms to collaborating with the police to respond to overdose calls in a peer-centered supportive way and holding recovery groups at various community sites.
This year we look to expand these partnerships and have several collaborative partnerships in development. With a change in leadership, we also aim to nurture the partnerships we have that align so easily with our mission.
Revamp Community Education and Events
We work in partnership with our local Community Substance Use Response team (CSUR) to bring substance use related educational events, training, and resources to the community. We also are proud participants in the One Brattleboro community safety meeting as well as the weekly Situation Table.
Our goals for this year include finding new opportunities to support our community by reducing stigma and raising awareness of the challenges faced by those in recovery, such as our upcoming screening of the film Recovery City at the Latchis Theater.
