CCAR Certified Recovery Coaches providing
triage care for Snohomish County’s most vulnerable.
The program
Outreach remains at the very soul of what we do here at Advocates.
Crucial partnerships with community partner agency’s ensure collaboration which results in meaningful lifelines to Snohomish County’s most vulnerable.
Led by a CCAR Certified Recovery Coach and 2022 Director of the Year, Tony Thompson, we remain committed to providing deliberate care which facilitates movement towards a sustainable, healthy, and independent life.
Our team provides deliberate care to those needing food, NARCAN, medical services, detox, housing referrals, and other life saving necessities.
Street Medicine

(2) Refer unsheltered participants to primary care; and
(3) Enroll unsheltered participants in ongoing primary care. This includes, at times, transporting to appointments and advocating for participants.
