What’s Happened Last Quarter?

We had a wonderful fundraising event at the Olde Breton Inn on September 18^th! Thank you to all of our donors, sponsors and attendees for your generous support.

This summer the Cove and Greenwell
Foundation teamed up to build a tire
tower for children to enjoy at the park!

Fed Up Rally, 2015:  A group of 17 people from Walden's Beacon attended and joined hundreds braving the weather for
the 3rd Fed Up Rally and March to the White House, calling for a federal response to the opiate addiction health crisis. 
Many thanks to the Sisters of of Nazareth/Camp Maria Retreat Center for assisting with transportation costs to the event!

We went to make history with thousands of others on the National Mall, in the first ever concert for recovery and advocacy. One of our participants said of the event, "This was an amazing, awesome and humbling experience.” 

Ongoing Projects

Walden is working with the St. Mary’s County Detention Center to institute vivitrol as an option for opiate addicted individuals participating in treatment and re-entry services

Walden would like to announce: we started a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) located in Charlotte Hall! The program is 6 hours a day 6 days a week.
