THE ORIGIN STORY

In 2016, a group of young people in the early stages of recovery identified a missing link in their self-improvement journey. While the freedom from active addiction catalyzed profound changes to their newfound way of life, one area of personal growth remained unturned: their professional life.

Their need for professional mentorship in the pivotal phase of early recovery sparked the formation of Project Manifesto. Led by the vision of Senior Advisor, Daniel Hilferty, Sr., this group of recovering professionals became the grassroots pilot for the innovative program that exists today. The pilot group quickly demonstrated the impact of peer support and professional development on SUD outcomes. Their success in finding meaningful work and sustained recovery underscored the relationship between purpose and health.

Now, motivated to provide others the peer support and professional mentorship afforded to them, Manifesto is led and operated by its original pilot members. Initially an informal coffee-shop process, Manifesto Health has evolved into a subclinical peer support and recovery coaching program that utilizes evidence-based practices within a diverse community of peers, mentors, advocates, and employer partners. Additionally, Manifesto provides consultation services that create recovery-ready workplaces for employers.
