Krystal Orman, BHPSS, CSKT Tribal Member

Vice President

Krystal is a a single mother of two boys. After a newspaper article was published spotlighting her bad behavior in 2016, she admitted herself into inpatient treatment, and has been an active member of the recovery community since that time.

Krystal states "I wanted to do better for myself, my kids, my family, friends, and community". In April of 2017, there was a peer support training offered in Kalispell, Mt. She attended the class in order to learn more about herself and the disease of addiction. She didn't know at the time that she would end up becoming a Certified Peer Support Specialist. She loves giving back, and working with people new to recovery helps her remember how far she has come. She says, "Its an amazing feeling to be connected to community and something bigger than myself. With hard work and energy anything is possible."
