Recovering Healers Foundation
The Recovering Healers Scholarship supports individuals in New Mexico who are pursuing higher education in the fields of Social Work, Counseling, or Trade School programs within the state. Originally created to uplift Certified Peer Support Workers (CPSWs), this scholarship continues to champion their journey toward a Master’s in Social Work at New Mexico Highlands University.
This year, we’re expanding our mission. In addition to CPSWs, we are now welcoming applications from individuals who have experienced and overcome significant trauma in their lives and are seeking support to further their education and professional goals. Whether you're working toward a degree in mental health or a skilled trade, we believe in your potential—and we want to help you get there.
CPSWs are individuals in long-term recovery from mental health and/or substance use challenges. Through their lived experiences, they offer unique insight and strength to those they support, making them invaluable to the behavioral health community.
Join us in transforming lives. Your donation helps trauma survivors and individuals in recovery pursue education in Social Work, Counseling, and the Trades.
Why We Gather
Every person has a story.
Some have overcome addiction. Others have survived profound trauma or navigated mental health challenges that changed the course of their lives.
Rather than allowing those experiences to define them, our scholarship recipients choose to let them inspire their future.
The Recovering Healers Scholarship helps New Mexicans earn the education and training needed to become counselors, social workers, peer support professionals, and skilled tradespeople who strengthen communities across our state.
When you attend this gala, you're not simply buying a ticket; you are investing in someone's opportunity to build a meaningful career and give hope to others walking similar paths.
Why Your Support Matters
Every sponsorship, auction bid, donation, or ticket purchase helps us to remove financial barriers for students who are pursuing careers dedicated to helping others. Your generosity helps to create more counselors, more social workers, more Certified Peer Support Workers, and more skilled trades professionals. Overall, you contribute to building stronger communities throughout New Mexico.
Invest in healing, resilience, and the future of our community.
