The JOJ Story

JOJ launched using the Oxford Model in 2017. It was founded by two members of the Rochester community who dedicated their lives to the recovery community after a long term recovery program helped them overcome their addiction challenges. Today, JOJ houses its "members" in ten homes located in the Olmsted and Mower County areas. Each home houses up to 8 members and one home is designated for women with children. Everyone pays rent, stays active in the recovery community, and provides a healthy contribution to their home.

The Environment Matters

You don’t recover from substance-abuse challenges just by stopping. You recover by creating a new life where it is easier to not use. Our Homes are all located within safe, family-oriented and upscale communities. We believe strongly that the environment impacts one's ability to recover so we do not place individuals in compromised environments.

Meet our owners, Tiffany Hunsley and Bill Hall.  Having personally battled and persevered through substance use challenges themselves, Tiffany and Bill made the decision in 2011 to dedicate their lives to serving others. They help others navigate their way out of the darkness and into a new way to live. These opportunities were not available to them during their own struggles. The plan, create a peer lead recovery home environment that was able to essentially create new patterns of behavior, while maintaining a high level of accountability and affordability that nearly anyone could meet. Today, the JOJ housing program represents their vision of moving Beyond Addiction & leading a life in Recovery.

VOICE AWARDS PROGRAM

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, (SAMHSA’S), Voice Awards program honors people in recovery and their family members who are improving the lives of people with mental illness, substance use disorders, or both in communities across the country. The awards program also recognizes television and film productions that educate the public about behavioral health and showcases that recovery is real and possible through treatment and recovery support.

Tiffany Hunsley, 2016 Voice Award, Consumer / Peer / Family Leadership

Tiffany Hunsley leads a life of long-term recovery and is a mother of four. She is the founder and former executive director of Recovery Is Happening, a recovery community organization that envisions a place where long-term recovery is effectively supported, integrated, and nurtured.

Alcohol And Other Drugs Project

Tiffany’s work with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Alcohol and Other Drugs Project has helped identify ways to improve court-related performance and outcomes for children and families involved in child protection court proceedings. Her successful reunification with her children is a reminder of the overarching goal of the child protection system - getting families back together once it's safe to do so.

Peer recovery support is vital for long-term recovery. Join Our Journey  enhances the recovery-oriented system of care by creating a peer-supported recovery program for parents whose lives have been affected by alcohol and other drug addictions. Parent Recovery Partners are parents who have already navigated through recovery, child welfare, chemical health, and the court system. Now, on the other side, they mentor, advocate for, educate and empower other parents currently in or seeking recovery.

Organization Information

Mission statement.

Join the Journey is dedicated to promoting breast cancer awareness and supporting individuals on their breast cancer journey.

Description

Join the Journey was founded in 2005. Effie Psimos and Patty Allen, breast cancer survivors, and close friend Margie Loprinzi, came together with the hope of raising awareness of breast cancer in Rochester, Minnesota.

Before long, Join the Journey had its first Ten-Mile Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. The community response was tremendous, and participation grows each year. In 2014, nearly 1,000 people participated!

Join the Journey has evolved into an established non-profit community organization, which supports programs and projects that uphold its mission of promoting breast cancer awareness and supporting individuals on their breast cancer journey.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with breast cancer, Join the Journey was created to help you. We will provide you with information, support and fellowship. You are not alone; we are here to help.
