THE ART OF RECOVERY: We mounted an exhibit of work by the artists of "Partners in Recovery", a program of Catholic Charities and "The A-Team Artists" of the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) from May 14 to July 14, 2006 at Trinity Cathedral.

"Partners in Recovery" is a partial-care program of Catholic Charities which provides integrated treatment of the co-occurring disorders of mental illness and substance abuse. A Recovery Model is followed as members are viewed as active, responsible partners in their treatment.

"The A-Team Artists of Trenton" grew out of the Extra Helpings program of the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK). They are still based at the Soup Kitchen but have become an independent business entity, a limited liability partnership run by the artists themselves.
