Featured Story
Parent
I am a hurting mom who was introduced to True North through my son who suffers from addiction.

My son met Tad a couple of years ago at the recovery place where my son attended. Recently my son reached out to Tad for help. Tad met him at Heights church on a Sunday for service. He transported my son to a hotel safely (we live in another state). Amanda reached out to me the following day. I told her our family story.

Recently, a client I served while at Hold Fast Recovery, relapsed.

This wasn't an average type of relapse, it was almost a matter of life and death. I contacted Tad and Amanda and told them about this client and the severity of his condition.

I've been lucky enough to call Amanda one of my closest friends for over 25 years.

I wholeheartedly recommend True North Transitions to anyone looking for an organization that is truly making a difference.

What makes them special isn’t just the resources they provide-it’s the genuine love, compassion, and commitment they have for every person they serve.

Stepping out of residential treatment and back into the real world felt like standing on the edge of a cliff.

Everything was loud, fast, and overwhelming. That was until I found True North Transitions. They didn't just hand me a pamphlet and wish me luck; they walked right beside me to help build a solid bridge back to independence.

I’ve watched Amanda spend the last 20 years chasing purpose instead of comfort.

She’s always been the kind of person who sees potential in others, even when they can’t see it themselves. True North Transitions isn’t just another organization it’s the result of years of compassion, perseverance, and a genuine desire to help…

I’m not part of the program myself, but I’ve watched Amanda — as a co‑founder — pour her heart, integrity, and dedication into True North alongside the rest of the team.

Their mission and the impact they’re making are the reason my family, friends, and my business, Bristle Avenue Salon & Lash Academy, choose to collect donations and support them however we can.
