The First Christopher Walden House of Hope ~ Opens in Wasilla, Alaska 2022
In a collaborative effort, Set Free Alaska and the Christopher Walden Foundation of Hope have publicly announced the naming of Set Free’s Heritage House - Recovery Residence as the “Christopher Walden House of Hope.” The naming of this facility is in honor of Christopher Walden, who lost his life to a drug overdose in 2019.
In the wake of Christopher’s passing the Walden Family established a Foundation in his name with the critical goal of saving lives by providing additional beds and resources that are local, low-cost, non-profit, and offer long-term residential treatment.
“I am so thankful for the partnership that we are developing with the Christopher Walden House of Hope; with the family and friends and loved ones that have gathered around their mission. The Walden family has done so much to honor the legacy and to use the tragedy that happened to them to promote health, healing, and service delivery in the state of Alaska”. Philip Licht I President & CEO of Set Free Alaska
Set Free Alaska shares a similar vision and offers an innovative and therapeutic model that incorporates safe, sober housing with personalized case management, peer support services, and outpatient SUD treatment. Additionally, it features workforce development and assistance in transitioning back into the community. Their multi-generational program promotes hope, healing, and resilience, resulting in lasting change. Currently, it is the only program of its kind in Alaska.
The unveiling of the new sign, featuring both organization logos, marks the next step in a joint effort to save lives from addiction. The alliance between the two organizations aims to fight substance abuse in Alaska.
This amazing recovery community is in Palmer, Alaska overlooking the majestic views of Pioneer Peak and the Matanuska Glacier. Please watch the video of this dynamic partnership story…
