Message from the CEO: Inspiring Journeys of Hope and Discovery

Greetings and Welcome!  

Thanks for stopping in.  Whether you are just curious, considering volunteering, becoming a donor, seeking employment, making a referral, or becoming a participant in one of our programs, this website is meant for you.  We hope our website will give you the information you need about the exciting and important work we do everyday to help New Hampshire's youth, women and families improve their lives.  We also hope that the stories and information inspires you to become part of this journey.

Since 1970, OdysseyNH has made a real difference to thousands of NH individuals and families who have worked to overcome substance use, trauma, behavioral and other complex problems.  As I meet people from around the state and share what I do, I'm often told about their friend, cousin, sibling, son or daughter that was helped by our programs and staff.  These are heartfelt stories of individuals who have turned a bad corner of their lives into something good.  These changed individuals and families are the legacy of the legions of staff, volunteers and supporters that have shaped the past of OdysseyNH and form its future.  I am so grateful for all they have done and all that they continue to do!

Today at OdysseyNH we are working hard to create even better healing environments, service outcomes, intensive outpatient options and striving to improve what we do to make a better future for everyone who puts their trust in us.  Our goal, in everything we do, is that everyone discovers new possibilities for their lives and is equipped with the energy and supports to achieve their goals.   No matter what program, or how long anyone stays, we want to assure that each person and his/her family has been given this opportunity. 

We hope you will find what you need on this site.  We love feedback, so if we can improve, tell us!

Thanks for coming.  Come back soon!

Sincerely,

Erik
