Carly Holmes

FCS: Lewis, Thurston, Mason

My name is Carly Holmes, and I am the FCS Supervisor for Lewis, Thurston, and Mason counties. My story began in a dysfunctional home, leading me to leave at 16 with my high school sweetheart. I quickly entered motherhood and marriage, but soon found myself in a destructive cycle of substance abuse and abusive relationships. Despite these challenges, I was determined to build a better future.

​

My journey included legal battles and a transformative period in the residential DOSA program. After regaining custody of my children, I faced another relapse and homelessness, which became a turning point. My recovery gained momentum through the Family Drug Court program, where I graduated in 2023.

Embracing every support and opportunity, I became a Certified Peer Counselor. Now, at Destination Hope and Recovery, I use my experiences to support and inspire others, proving that change and a substance-free future are possible for all.
