I am a blessed mother of four wonderful children. My journey towards healing and recovery is deeply rooted in my faith as a follower of Christ. Having personally experienced the transformative power of recovery, I am passionate about extending a helping hand to those seeking solace and renewal. While I refrain from picking sides in the sports world, my family and I find joy in shared activities such as playing cards, engaging in video games, biking, and hitting the bowling alley. Though I don’t have a favorite movie I enjoy the TV series ‘The Chosen.’
Embracing the philosophy of “Let all you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14), I am committed to fostering an environment of compassion and support for those on the path to

Hello, I am Joe Turner. I am the Case Manager as well as the Alumni President here at APR. I am a proud High School graduate from The Canton McKinley Bulldogs. I have my Associate’s degree in Human and Social Services from Stark State College. I have both my Bachelor’s degree and Master’s Degree from the University of Akron.
