Melinda Dorn, Peer Recovery Specialist

 Melinda is a woman living in long term recovery in Minneapolis, MN. An adult child from an alcoholic/dysfunctional family, she began her journey toward recovery in 2015, first addressing emotional sobriety before looking at her use of chemical substances. A professional chef for over 20 years, she graduated from Metropolitan State University in 2020, having focused on mental and chemical health in restaurant environment. She is  now a certified peer specialist and addiction counselor. An advocate, ally and believer in harm reduction, Melinda’s experiences allow her to make valuable contributions to the progress of individuals seeking motivation, hope, and wellness in recovery. 

"My 'life' was ruining my life....but now I live in recovery. What this means to me is that despite the effects of working in the addicted and dysfunctional restaurant industry, I am able now to be healthy, fully alive and present in my own life; as well as be an ally to others who want to create positive change in theirs."
