Welcome, Mike McNeil

Please join us in welcoming (back) Mike McNeil to the Healthy Acadia team! 

Mike previously served as a member of our Seasonal Warming Center support staff team and recently joined our Maine Recovery Core cohort as a Recovery Coach intern. Recovery Core Interns offer direct peer support and advocacy to improve recovery success among individuals facing substance use disorders.

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

My lived experience had taken so much away from me.

What most inspires you about Healthy Acadia's work and your new role? 

Being in recovery and working with the recovery team at Healthy Acadia. Guiding recoverees in their recovery. Helping to find rehabs that fit their needs. Helping to find resources for food and housing. Being here just to listen if they need to talk.

What most inspires you on a personal level?

I was able to get my life back together now that I am in recovery.

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

Next to the ocean because the sounds are so relaxing.

Mike currently resides in Hancock.
