SPECIAL GUEST: Denise Klein and Candy Finnigan
Recovery Shark Tank Is not affiliated with the television show in any way. It is a truly philanthropic community-based endeavor sponsored by Milestones Ranch Malibu social workers to showcase “budding entrepreneurs” in the recovery industry. Contestants will be able to share their wonderful solution focused ideas for addiction recovery.
Small prizes will be given away and everything will be video-taped and shared on “Social Media” to inspire everyone to get on the bandwagon and showcase unique and exciting “new recovery ideas”!!
Milestones Ranch Malibu Will be providing small prizes in an effort to help contestants launch these fabulous recovery ideas. Celebrities, doctors, social workers, nurses, interventionists, and surprise “entrepreneurial guest sharks” will be the judges at the Malibu Play Theatre for this one -of-a-kind unique opportunity to make our recovery community stronger as we offer strength and hope to people suffering from addiction and their families.
ABOUT DENISE KLEIN
Denise Klein, Executive Director of Milestones Ranch Malibu, one of the nation’s premier dual diagnosis treatment centers, graduated from the University of North Dakota with a Master’s Degree in Social Work in 1992. Prior to graduation, Denise was awarded Social Worker of the Year 1990 by Minot State University for her “commitment, enthusiasm and contributions to the field of social work.” Later, as CEO and founder of Innerchoice Family Counseling Center in Loveland, Colorado, Denise created and implemented a state of the art in-home based wraparound program for dual diagnosis patients and their families, a program designed to keep families intact rather than removing children from their home. 0Developing programs that benefit and support the entire family system and assist the patient in creating an emotionally-sober and recovery-centric lifestyle is Denise’s ongoing passion. Her ongoing faith that people and family systems can grow and change, and a strong belief in solution-focused and strength-based modalities, lie at the heart of her ongoing dedication and vision for Milestones Ranch Malibu.
