SWDH was proud to participate in Nampa’s Water Education Days! More than 600 students rotated through learning stations at Lakeview Park, including our booth on safe drinking water.

Students explored the difference between safe sources (like tap water) and unsafe ones (like lake or sprinkler water), and learned why water that looks clean isn’t always safe to drink.

We’re proud to share that our Drug Overdose Prevention Manager was recently featured on Reformed & Reel, sharing her journey from homelessness to serving Idaho’s communities. With over 20 years of sustained recovery, she brings both lived experience and professional expertise to her work.
