“Hard work builds self esteem and self worth.”
Today we are joined by Kellie Christensen from Mountain Valley Recovery. She and her husband Judd Christensen run a recovery center that includes a working ranch, recreational therapy, equine therapy, and focuses on recovery for men. Their patients can also learn a new set of trade skills and how to work hard. She also says, “They don’t know how to have fun without using.” so they also learn how to enjoy nature, hobbies, and life in recovery. She talks about the value of having a community both as an individual in recovery and as a facility in a region. She is passionate about fighting to have a healthy life.
