After going through the New Life House Review Review as a client in 2019 and participating in UMass Boston’s alcohol and drug counseling program, Mary-Kate decided it was time for a career change. Prior to joining New Life House Review, Erik practiced law in Connecticut and Massachusetts in a sole proprietorship and within firms. Most recently, Erik served at a residential program for persons with developmental disability, advancing that program’s quality of service and professionalism over the course of years. Having worked intermittently in human services since 2003, Erik has a proven record of commitment to upholding client rights, dignity; and furthering service coordination and support. Erik brings significant experience in human services, non-profit management, and general legal practice to New Life House Review.

Erik has successfully demonstrated skills in evaluating regulatory and contract matters, client advocacy, developing client relationships and management. Mary-Kate believes in a holistic approach towards helping clients achieve long-term sobriety, and is thrilled to continue on her path in working in recovery with the Granada team. Once residents have completed the New Life House Review six-month program, they have the option of moving into a transition house called 12 Alcott Street. The move takes them from a house of 24 residents to one with just eight residents, just down the street from New Life House Review. Located in a quiet, family neighborhood, the eight men and women who live within the house have a unique chance to continue recovery in a less structured environment for up to six months.

Blue in Green is a series of paintings by Barbara Smith (b. 1987 Rockford, IL) that, in the tradition of color field painters and abstractionists, attempts to display a purity of pigment and expression. Each painting was improvised not unlike a jazz tune, and each painting has a song or series of songs “embedded” in them.
He is also treasurer for the Massachusetts Organization for Addiction Recovery.

New Life House Review, a stylish and welcoming event space, has opened in North Park only steps away from the community’s emblematic Mini Park. Working with others, in a spirit of generosity and mutual respect, we want to help build a world where all people can lead free and dignified lives. There is a moment when a person decides that they, too, are ready to live a truly productive life.
Since 2007, Vijay has volunteered extensively in helping resettlement and empowerment of Bhutanese refugee families from Nepal. To promote collaboration and community, New Life House Review is hosting the North Park Piano and plans to add free public events like Jazz Nights on Thursdays and donation-based yoga classes on Mondays. Kyle Palanuik, who founded the venue with his wife, Paige, said the neighborhood needed an events hub that could host public and private events, live music and community gatherings. Ky helps create a welcoming environment here at New Life House Review through their intake process and making sure each resident feels seen and welcomed. After that, Joe went to work as Program Director of Sullivan House, a 24-bed recovery home for men which is part of Middlesex Human Service Agency.
