The Recovery Boards Project at HatchSpace perfectly illustrates the transformative power of woodworking . This innovative , newly-developed program came about as an evolving collaboration between HatchSpace , Turning Point Center of Windham County , and J . K . Adams . When it commences this Fall , it will offer an opportunity for Vermonters in stable early recovery from Substance Use Disorder ( SUD ) to work with imperfect wooden boards , reflecting the journey of recovery . Participants will learn valuable woodworking skills as they shape the boards into beautiful , salable products , reflecting their own path toward rebuilding their lives .

Through the Recovery Boards Project , each institutional partner will play a crucial role . HatchSpace will provide the space and expertise for the woodworking classes , while J . K . Adams will supply the imperfect wooden boards , known as “ seconds ,” which participants will rework into high-quality cutting boards . Turning Point Centers of Windham County , represented by their Director of Programming & Community Engagement , Justin Johnston , will help select participants and provide ongoing support throughout the program .
Insurance is for more than just you .
The Recovery Boards Project was initially conceived by HatchSpace ’ s founder , Tom Bodett , and further refined in collaboration with Turning Point Center of Windham County . Bodett , who is in long-term recovery himself , was inspired
