Alicia Conlin: Building Recovery Capital & Community on Cape Cod with WellStrong, Inc

Send us a text

WellStrong is a 501(c)(3) in East Falmouth using fitness, peer coaching, and community to support people in recovery from substance use disorder. Executive Director Alicia Conlin joins Chris Collins and Dennis “Bobby Downspout” Siggins to share how WellStrong pairs evidence-based WAM (Whole Health Action Management) with a full gym, peer wellness coaches, and “boots-on-the-ground” outreach. We talk recovery capital, accountability, employment pathways, events like the WellStrong Fun Run, and a big expansion: partnering as the sole wellness provider at The Bridge Center in Barnstable County.
If you think WellStrong is “just a gym,” this conversation shows the myriad of community services behind the doors—and why it works.
