Success in Aroostook County

Daisy enrolled in Houlton last winter. During her intake, Daisy expressed strong interest in working with people who experienced substance use disorders. To get started, staff helped her get an internship with Aroostook Mental Health Center (AMHC). They also connected her with Maine Educational Opportunity Center (MEOC) for help with financial aid and applying to the human services program at the University of Maine at Augusta (UMA). Daisy was recently accepted into the UMA program as a halftime student starting this fall and AMHC offered her a full-time position. She told staff that she will be busy, but she is excited to work towards her dream of becoming a licensed drug and alcohol counselor.
