Get involved in recovery advocacy in your community and state, and be part of the Frontier regional network!

Frontier Regional Representative: Carla Ayres

I am a person in long term recovery who has spent the last twelve years advocating for people in recovery. I have assisted in reducing the amount of stigma that is in my community and around the state. I am a Program Manager for Catholic Community Services of Lane County Inc. where I am working on a daily basis to serve the recovery community by providing housing subsidies for low-income at risk individuals. I am a member of the Governors Methamphetamine task force, the Oregon associations of addiction professionals and on the advisory committee for the state office of addiction and mental health. I get to speak legislatively around the state of the importance of recovery and people changing their lives. My spirituality has lead me to this incredible place where I get to be a part of changing the lives of many people who have a right to be honored and respected.
