Life was terribly unstructured for me. I was struggling with addiction, mental issues, homelessness, debt, and my world was so toxic. I felt like I was going around an endless cycle of dead ends. I had no direction, no hope, and the people around me didnโt know how to support me nor had the time to as most of them were facing similar battles
Jamal came to NADAP in 2017 after witnessing the sudden death of his mother and falling into a deep depression and heavy substance use. NADAP created an intensive care plan for Jamal which included weekly therapy sessions. And after his first few sessions, Jamal told us heโs โfeeling more optimistic than ever!
As a result of his hard work and perseverance including overcoming homelessness, within 4 months of working with NADAP, Jordan was promoted to a management position.
