KATHARINE BRUMFIELD
Alcoholism has plagued my family for many generations leaving death, broken hearts and lives in its wake. Now that I’m retired from teaching in a Montessori school, I am deeply committed to supporting those in recovery as well as those contemplating a sober life. Helping those early in this disease find a sober recovery community, sober healthy lifestyles, and living situations, and a strong set of life-coping skills is my desire.
