Success Stories

Brighton Center at its very core is a community based agency. The people in our community and their needs are the driving force behind the work we do. Trends and fads will come and go, but Brighton Center will always provide services the community needs and wants. Every day, Brighton Center works to engage all members of the community from young children to seniors so that real change can become reality. Every one of them has a story worth sharing... the following are just a few.

Tammy

I knew from the very first time I walked into Brighton Center on Central Avenue, that this was the place for me.

Samantha

Before I came to Brighton Center’s Center for Employment training (CET), I struggled with a lifelong belief that I wasn’t really good enough. I had skills, but none that were sharply developed.

Molly

I first became involved with Brighton Center in 1992, when I was hired by Newport Schools in the A.D. Owens Family Resource Center, and began connecting families with community resources. At that time, A.D. Owens School also contracted with Brighton Center for a mental health therapist.

Dottie

I started volunteering when Brighton Center was started in 1966. I am impressed with the way they help their customers become more independent and more reliant on themselves.

Tracy

My name is Tracy and I am an alcoholic. Thanks to God's grace, Brighton Center, the program of AA and 12 steps, and my sponsor, I have been sober since December 10th, 2009.
