Welcome to NSI where it's our mission to provide a comprehensive coalition approach for engagement with people whose lives have been affected by poverty, trauma, and addiction. Our purpose is one of connection, hope, recovery, and education in order to better equip individuals and active substance users with support and personal power not only for coping, but also for thriving.  We achieve connection through initial and progressive assessment, access to resources, use of art, mindfulness training, music, poetry, dialogue, and whatever interactions we find useful to surround individuals with compassion and opportunity for well-being, harm reduction, greater stabilization for a healthy and happy life style.
