Danielle Smith

We sit down with Danielle Smith, executive director of St. Monica’s, to talk about what life-changing recovery looks like for women when treatment is gender-specific, trauma-informed, and built around real-world support. We dig into:

• Stigma, motherhood, staff wellness, and why community collaboration helps recovery last
• The continuum of care at St. Monica’s, from residential treatment to outpatient support
• Why gender-specific, trauma-informed care creates safety for vulnerability and healing
• How peer support and community bonds strengthen long-term recovery
• What changes when women can recover while parenting and reunifying with children
