My name is Kevin, and I am very humbled and honored to be with Gilly's House. I am a husband, a father, a brother, a son, a friend and a grateful recovering alcoholic/addict (my sober date 2/12/2016), I am also dual diagnosis, being treated for Bipolar Disorder. I am a success story (no bragging it's TRUE!), I have been learning and growing, sharing with others,,,,and as The Universe would have it, my path lead me back to Gilly's. Truth be told, I was part of the original staff when the house opened! I worked here in the same capacity I do now, really just trying to help others find their path. In between I worked with SSTAR in Fall River as the Lead Substance Abuse Counselor on the ATS Unit, and I have also been with The Hockomock YMCA in different roles working with children for the past 5 years. I am very lucky, and grateful for this experience and opportunity,
