Miller & Martin’s Women’s Network has formed a community partnership with The Launch Pad, a Chattanooga nonprofit organization offering support to local women in recovery.
The Launch Pad provides residential, 12-step-based sober living to women recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. The organization serves as a safe haven for 49 residents in five group homes.
During their stay, Launch Pad residents attend regular Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, participate in weekly group therapy and obtain gainful employment.
Over the recent holiday season, Miller & Martin’s Women’s Network donated notebooks and pens for journaling therapy, as well as personal care and cold weather essentials for Launch Pad residents.
Launch Pad executive director Shelley Armstrong says the residents were “thrilled” with the gifts.
“The hat, glove and scarf sets, as well as socks and lip gloss, were a huge hit, and they loved picking out the colors. But the biggest hit was the journals. They were intentional on picking out their own personal journals and the pens they’d use.”
The female attorneys who comprise Miller & Martin’s Women’s Network in the firm’s Chattanooga office intend to continue their support of Launch Pad residents throughout 2024 by sponsoring resident fellowship events, conducting resume review or professional mentorship sessions, and volunteering their time to improve the residence grounds.
“The members of Miller & Martin’s Women’s Network are honored to partner with The Launch Pad and have been inspired by the network’s commitment to the sober living program and its residents in 2024,” says Lynzi Archibald, the Chattanooga office co-chair of Miller & Martin’s Women’s Network.
