Welcome, Faith "Fay" Carrigg

Please join us in welcoming Faith Carrigg to the Healthy Acadia team! 

Fay joins us as a Maine Recovery Core Intern. Maine Recovery Core Interns offer direct peer support with the aim to improve recovery success among individuals facing substance use disorders. Fay provides recovery coaching and recovery supports in Penobscot County through the BARN (Bangor Area Recovery Network).

Fay, what prompted you to join the Healthy Acadia team?

I’m a musician, and I’m studying Criminal Justice Administration in hopes to be a victim/witness advocate. (Law has always interested me!). I was actually looking for an internship through my school for my major, and Healthy Acadia was one of the options. I applied and here I am and I love this work.

What most inspires you about Healthy Acadia's work? 

Seeing the hope and commitment people have to this line of work as well as the hope that those in recovery have to overcome their addiction inspire me.

What most inspires you on a personal level?

Music inspires me so much, song lyrics especially. My mom also inspires me!

What is your favorite thing to do, or place to be, in Maine, and why?

It sounds cheesy but I really enjoy just being on my college campus. I also really enjoy axe throwing.

Fay currently resides in Brewer. Contact Fay by email.
