Meet Randy Stevens. Beyond the titles and certifications lies a personal journey of triumph and resilience that fuels his commitment to inspire and support others on their path to recovery. 

With a Bachelor of Social Work, Randy has faced and conquered challenges, including substance use disorder, trauma, and a history of incarceration. These experiences are not just chapters of his life but stepping stones, forming a genuine connection with individuals navigating their own recovery journeys. 

As a Peer Support Specialist, Randy has shared hope while working in various capacities across New Hampshire. Volunteering at Strafford County House of Corrections, he facilitated a health and wellness group for the Men’s Therapeutic Community, turning adversity into an opportunity for growth. 

Currently pursuing a Master of Social Work, Randy’s journey is a testament to continuous learning and a deep-seated commitment to advocate for the most vulnerable. As the Executive Director, he envisions Hope for NH Recovery as a beacon of support and transformation in the Manchester community. Randy’s story is not just about accomplishments; it’s about inspiring hope, breaking down stigma, and building a community where every individual’s journey is met with empathy, understanding, and a genuine belief in their potential.
