At City of Angels our volunteers care! City of Angels NJ, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with nearly two decades of experience in servicing our community. City of Angels NJ, Inc. was created in 2008 by a group of like-minded friends when founding members Kevin & Maryann Meara reached out for assistance in response to the tragic overdose death of their son KC. While our original vision of “helping people get help” is still our central mission, we have expanded as the community’s needs have increased. Faced with segmented systems (mental health, substance-use, medical, law enforcement, education), COA is comprehensive in that we help the community en masse to navigate these systems. COA volunteers have assisted hundreds upon hundreds of individuals and families navigate the system. We have utilized tools that were available to us and then created our own tools. We have provided meeting spaces for our support groups, such as AA, NA and OA and initiated programs such as the Dana Brandt Family Program. We created our City of Angels Recovery Radio (COARR) and our City of Angels Training Institute (COATI) for recovery coach development. We continue to participate in recovery advocacy events to spread awareness. COA believes that Wellness is the next step, after treatment and has introduced our Recovery Wellness initiative. Currently, when your treatment stay is complete and your insurance runs out, it all falls to the support groups (AA, NA, CA). With US overdose deaths passing 100,000+, we have to keep pushing the envelope to address this and find additional tools.
