22 More Graduate From Tulsa's Women In Recovery Program

Nearly two dozen women now have a better chance of success.

Twenty-two more graduates completed the Women in Recovery Program offered through Family and Children's Services.

The mission is to provide women, who were on the wrong path and probably headed for prison, with better opportunities in life.

"Each of these 22 graduates today have worked very, very hard over the last year on their trauma, on their substance use," director Mimi Tarrasch said. "They have gained lots of employment skills."

So far, 168 women have completed the recovery program over the last five years.
