About GrowthWorks

A recovery organization. Operated by lived experience.

GrowthWorks is a Fairfield County recovery nonprofit, 100% operated by people with lived experience. We offer AI safety training for recovery teams, with HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 built in, regulatory compliance consulting with a CARF accreditation specialty, and recovery-friendly education groups for people in recovery and reentry.

How we work

Grounded, capable, and useful.

Good tools belong closest to the people doing the hardest work. Our software and training exist so a case manager, a student, or a small agency can get more done with less friction.

Lived experience operated

People with lived experience operate every part of GrowthWorks. That perspective shapes our priorities, our relationships, and how we approach learning.

AI-capable

We build real software and AI-assisted workflows, but always in service of human judgment, care, training, and accountability.

Recovery-centered

We make room for practical skills, creativity, connection, and the goals people choose for themselves.

What we mean by growth

Growth is not just scale. It is capacity.

Growth can mean a first design, a useful new skill, confidence with technology, or a team that knows how to improve its practice. We start with the next step that matters to you.

The more solutions we create, the more people we can employ, and the more people we employ, the more solutions the community can own.

Why it works
The work in plain terms

We build the systems people wish already existed.

Software

GhostyBoy and custom tools

Intake, consent, referrals, compliance, calendars, evidence, grant operations, and partner workflows.

Education

AI education and creative skills

AI safety training for recovery teams, with HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 built in, alongside recovery-friendly groups in AI workforce skills, 3D printing, graphic design, and digital production.

Consulting

Compliance and CARF readiness

Regulatory compliance consulting with a CARF accreditation specialty: review the work, organize evidence, strengthen policies, and prepare your team.

Faith and service

We are faith-rooted without making people pass through a narrow door.

GrowthWorks is a Christian-founded nonprofit, but the work is offered with practical warmth: build excellent systems, serve people with dignity, protect consent, tell the truth about outcomes, and make opportunity more reachable.
