FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Council of Southeast Pennsylvania Announces Leadership Change
Executive Director Beverly Haberle will transition leadership to Jennifer King
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. October 30, 2018 – After 42 years of service, Beverly (Bev) J. Haberle is retiring as Executive Director of The Council of Southeast Pennsylvania, Inc. (The Council) effective December 3, 2018. She will be succeeded by Jennifer King who joins the organization November 1, 2018. The change in the organization’s leadership was announced by William Weigman, The Council’s Board President. “Beverly is a nationally recognized pioneer in recovery support services. She advanced The Council as a servant leader and a person in long-term recovery who demonstrates daily that ‘Thriving in Recovery’ is not just a slogan. Her dedication has transformed how addiction is addressed in our communities and it is with immense gratitude to her that the Board announces her retirement.”

Bev started with The Council in 1976 as a volunteer and was named The Council’s Executive Director in 1980. Under her leadership, The Council has grown from one office in Doylestown to include eight offices throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. As the organization’s focus expanded, the staff grew from two to more than 70 professionals with support from more than 400 volunteers. Bev’s drive and persistence has been recognized through the Livengrin Foundation’s Ford Hansel Award and the William White Lifetime Achievement Award from Faces and Voices-America Honors Recovery. Of her retirement, Bev said, “I have been very blessed all these years to have been able to provide leadership to this organization. I value and respect the work of our staff and know this important mission will continue to be served by them under Jennifer’s strong leadership, operational background, and commitment.”

Jennifer King has worked in social services her entire career. Having served the southeastern Pennsylvania region for more than 20 years, she joins The Council from Penn Foundation where she was the Director of Advancement for eight years. She is a Certified Fundraising Executive, holds a master’s degree in communication from LaSalle University, and earned a bachelor’s degree in education from St. Peter’s College. Board President Bill Weigman said, “The Board’s unanimous support of Jennifer to lead The Council into the future is recognition of her proven professional skills, experience, and dedication to serving this region.” While at Penn Foundation, Jennifer directed the organization’s capital and annual giving campaigns, special events, and legislative outreach. In addition, she oversaw its marketing and external communications programming. “As our community responds to the devastating opioid epidemic, it is such an important time to be working in addiction prevention, treatment and recovery. I am honored to be part of the Council’s future, and to further engage our community in helping people achieve and maintain long-term recovery. It is a mission I am deeply committed to and can’t wait to get started,” she said.

"B   efore I arrived at Narconon New Life Retreat, my life was a wreck. Every bad decision I could have made, I made it. Every wrong path I could have chosen, I chose it. I was in a very dark place and I was miserable. I had been to jail many times and in several different institutions.
I was on any drug I could get my hands on and every time things would start going well for me, I would jump off the deep end and mess it all up. The decisions I made almost cost me my life. I overdosed several times and had a near fatal car wreck running from the police.
“I remember waking up after the wreck in the hospital after having two spinal fusions not even knowing how I was still alive. I remember my family telling me they had been waiting to get a call saying I was dead. Looking back on it now, the wreck changed my life for the better because my family found Narconon. When I arrived for addiction treatment, I had 30 staples in my back. I weighed 130 pounds and was completely broken down.
 





 I was skeptical at first but I was willing to do whatever it took to get my life back on track.
It was then I noticed something that blew my mind, I saw how much the staff members at Narconon New Life Retreat actually cared about each student on the program. It felt good not only to relate to them but also to meet 20 other people similar to me.

“The Narconon program literally saved my life. I now weigh 170 pounds and feel better than I ever have. It helped me realize I can be successful and I do have a purpose in my life. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to do the Narconon program and to learn the tools I need to stay clean and sober. I am on track to stay drug-free for good and also to have a life my family and I can be proud of.”
—R.H. Narconon Graduate
 
 
Narconon New Life Retreat offers beautiful and comfortable facilities matched with a highly successful non 12 step program which results in higher success rate
 

Finding The Music

The journey back from drug addiction is different for each of us.  No matter where we come from or how our addiction affected us we can all learn from each other.
 

Stepping Stones to Recovery

 Life before Narconon was pretty much a big game to me, just not a survival one.  Life got to the point that I started to get amused by pain and I didn’t even care about anything anymore
 

Got My Life Back

How does someone wind up addicted to drugs? The truth is each person’s descent into drug addiction is different. This amazing story shows us a different perspective on how a person becomes addicted to drugs.
