4 Building Self-Sufficiency

Brighton Center believes self-sufficiency is taking responsibility to provide for yourself and your family using available resources to maintain the best quality of life possible. Our comprehensive approach to bundling services and programs allows us to meet the often complex needs of a family. Our approach is based on a philosophy that families become our partners in creating change by sharing their hopes and dreams then setting goals to accomplish them. Self-sufficiency is a constantly evolving process and we have learned that families move through the continuum based not only on their current situation but also their long-term goals. They move back and forth through the process as new or developing opportunities, challenges, or life goals come about. These ideas guide our work, our interactions with the community, and our actions in helping people build connections, skills, and a future.

5 Brighton Recovery Center for Women

Each year millions of women fall victim to the devastating grips of addiction. Women are the fastest growing segment of people with substance use issues in the U.S. and often become addicted faster, have a harder time stopping, and are frequently the last to seek help. Our region has experienced first-hand the shocking effects of addiction, however, for women who come to the Brighton Recovery Center, a second chance at life begins as they start On A Brighter Path.

6 Early Childhood Education Every child deserves access to high-quality educational experiences that ensure they are on track for success in school. Unfortunately, the reality is that many families struggle with the choice to provide basic daily necessities or critical early childhood experiences. Our early education services focus on working with parents and their children to reach important developmental milestones from birth through the start of kindergarten and beyond putting every child On A Brighter Path.

7 Community & Youth Services

Brighton Center, at its very core, is a community based agency invested in creating a better place for the people who live and work in Northern Kentucky. The needs of the community are the driving force behind the work we do in engaging all residents from young children to senior citizens. Our programs and services come from listening to the pulse of the community to ensure we are all given the chance to walk On A Brighter Path.

9 Family Center

For a family struggling to make ends meet, survival can be a daily or even hourly battle of hard decisions. Over the past several years, families who never imagined needing our help walked through the doors of the Family Center having exhausted all of their resources but soon found hope and the support needed to begin On A Brighter Path. We partner with families to set long-term goals and resolve the barriers that left them on the brink in the first place. Family Center staff work with families to not only make sure their future is brighter, but that their dreams are achievable.

Gaining employment with a livable wage and benefits is often one of the most challenging issues faced by individuals and families working toward self-sufficiency. Our region, like so many others, is experiencing a new reality in the job market. Certain career paths may no longer be viable options for employment, new skills sets may be required to become competitive, and a completely new career path is often a daunting reality to deal with. In order to thrive, we must continue to put people On A Brighter Path by creating a strong workforce that has the education and skills to move our region forward. Our Workforce Development programs do exactly that.

MONIKA’S STORY Monika came to United States from Germany at the age of 18 and through television taught herself to read, write, and speak English. After settling into Northern Kentucky and raising her family, Monika experienced a rough patch. She found herself homeless at the age of 69 and living with friends. Her only source of income was Social Security. A friend recommended contacting Brighton Center and with a quick internet search she found Saratoga Place Apartments. Saratoga Place offers seniors a safe and secure place to live with an on-site support specialist and access to additional Brighton Center services. Monika called to inquire about an opening and soon had her very own place to live. She turned to Brighton Center for help in furnishing the apartment because she only had one suitcase of personal belongings with her. She received a couch, chair, and coffee table to get started. Monika enjoys living close to necessities like the grocery store, bank, and her part-time job at Dixie Chili. Having her own place to call home gave Monika a new lease on life and a renewed sense of pride in achieving self-sufficiency.

15 Volunteers & Giving Back

Employees at Enterprise are there for us in so many ways, from organizing a huge food drive at Christmas for the last 7 years to working in the Clothing Closet. Enterprise employees dig in and make a difference in the lives of the people we serve. They come in when we ask and respond to our needs when we call them. When we opened the Recovery Center, Enterprise was there to sponsor a room for a future resident. By providing discounted van rental, we’re able to overcome the huge hurdle of transportation and take the youth in the Youth Leadership Development program to visit colleges and take field trips that expand their experience and thinking. Enterprise is also always willing to be a part of a fundraiser that are important to the Center.

We particularly want to recognize and honor Volunteers from Enterprise Jeff Rensing’s leadership. For 5 of the 6 years he’s served on our Board of Directors, he’s been the Chairperson of either the Program or Personnel Committee and he’s currently serving his last year on our Board of Directors as Secretary. He always shows up with donations and seeks ways to help and be a part of the life of Brighton Center. His dedication to furthering Enterprise’s corporate commitment to the community is amazing.

Enterprise Holdings has extended their collective hands to Brighton Center and the community we serve for 10+ years! They’ve figured out how to not just volunteer, but meet a need in the community. We were happy to present Enterprise with our Elizabeth Herald Community of IMPACT Support Award at our recent annual Board meeting. 3,124 Volunteer Groups Volunteers Accenture Dixie Heights Soccer Team L’Oreal Alive in You Durand Church of the Nazarene Mt.
