Virginia Howell

FCS: Thurston, Mason

Hi, my name is Virginia Howell, and I am an FCS Case Manager with Destination Hope and Recovery.


My passion for this work comes from my own lived experience and recovery journey. I am a recovering addict with almost three years of sobriety. I also experienced the loss of my mother to an overdose at a young age.

My journey includes multiple years incarcerated in both the federal and Texas prison systems.
 

After my release, I returned home to Lewis County and began rebuilding my life.
Through recovery, I have worked hard to heal from years of trauma and instability.
Because I have walked this path myself, I understand how hard it can be to find hope when starting over.
I meet people with empathy, honesty, and without judgment.
My goal is to help others feel seen, supported, and capable as they work toward stability and recovery.
I want people to know they are not alone, hope is real, and healing is possible.
