Earlier this year, St. Mary’s Center received a beautiful mosaic of our logo permanently displayed on our building
facing the garden. Originally, Oakland jewelry maker and artist, Celeste Howell, agreed to create the mosaic art piece
on behalf of the Institute of Mosaic Art. Tragically, she died unexpectedly before she was able to do so. Fellow artists,

Heather
A Life on Track
February 26, 2013 is an important day for Heather—
it marks her first day of sobriety. Now living at Friendly Manor,
Heather manages our Day Center for Homeless Women.
At 37, much of Heather’s life experiences mirror many
the past Heather had received only a partial diagnosis
of the issues that older St. Mary’s Center participants

on it. After high school, Heather found a good clerical
job and then worked as a real estate assistant, but when
the real estate bubble burst in the Great Recession, both
her job prospects and her mental health took a deep
dive. Major depression engulfed her—she couldn’t get
out of bed and had suicidal thoughts. Not that this was
new, exactly. Like others in her family, for much of her
life, Heather had bouts of depression but a combination
of moderate drug use and a job she liked had kept her
on a pretty even keel. Now she could barely function,
and a growing addiction to methamphetamines became
a lifestyle.
Heather’s life was increasingly untenable. A breakup with
an abusive boyfriend left her homeless and she was soon
couch-surfing with friends and acquaintances, engaging
in low-level criminal activity to pay for drugs. Eventually

In jail Heather had time—time to receive a correct
diagnosis of a major depressive disorder with bi-polar
features, which led to more effective treatment and
medication. She also had the time to see that her
medication did, indeed, work for her, so she was able
to commit to sobriety. While in jail, Heather completed
the D.E.U.C.E. program for substance abuse. Once
out, Heather enrolled at Options Recovery Services in
Berkeley and successfully graduated from the program.
She then moved to Friendly Manor to continue her
stabilization and sobriety in a safe place.
Today, Heather loves her job! Seeing herself in many

Thanks to underwriting by Charlie and Karen Couric, for
the second year in a row we have operated a summer
school for the month of July, which provides continuity
for children’s learning and development. This year 40
children participated in summer school.
The summer session also presented an opportunity for
parents to build parenting skills via a weekly parents
support and education program. For this summer
session, the parents program module was on “How to

importance of developing a good relationship with their

be tackled and, hopefully, solved before they get to be an
even bigger problem. Each weekly session ended with an
activity that was shared by parent and child.
