The Purpose Wellness Center, established in honor of Fredrick "Bugzy" Taylor, stands as a testament to resilience and hope. Following the tragic loss of Fredrick, who was killed by his oldest son who was affected by Substance Use Disorder. The vision for this center has been embraced by his Fredricks wife, Taryn Marie, and his youngest children, Eddris and Marae. In the wake of such profound sorrow, the family has discovered the power of positivity and the potential for growth through adversity. Committed to transforming their grief into a catalyst for change, they aim to inspire others to shift their mindsets through professional group programs, treatment and counselling. As a beacon of hope, the Purpose Wellness Center offers vital support and guidance to individuals navigating their challenges and unlocking their true potential. Through shared experiences and a dedicated focus on mental Health, the center empowers others to find the silver lining in their struggles .
Our program provides supportive services for youth ages 11–17 who are impacted by Substance Use Disorder within their family system. While the youth themselves may not be directly struggling with SUD, we recognize that living with—or being closely connected to—a family member who has substance use challenges can create emotional, behavioral, and social stress. Our goal is to offer education, coping skills, and a safe, supportive environment where youth can process their experiences, build resilience, and develop healthy strategies for navigating the effects of a loved one’s SUD. We also work with families to strengthen communication, promote healing, and encourage healthier family dynamics.
