History of Wits’ End
Wits’ End Resources started as a dream that Pam Herman had in 1988 when she saw a house where women were laughing and happy. As her own life was spiraling out of control this was simply a dream, but it never left her.
Shortly after this dream, Pam moved from Oklahoma to Florida and began her own journey of recovery. With the help of God, 12-Step Programs, and therapy, recovery happened. Pam went back to school completing her Master’s in Social Work, becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Addictions Professional (CAP). She remarried and committed to raising two children, family and career became her focus.
Pam spent the next 25 years employed helping hurting women in a variety of capacities. She was concerned to see how often women could not access the help they needed because they could not pay the professionals’ fees.
Years later, while sitting in church with her husband, the pastor delivered a message from Psalms 107:27, “They reeled and staggered like drunkards: they were at their wits’ end.” Pam’s husband commented that “Wits’ End” would be a good name for a program.
With her children grown and retirement looming on the horizon, Pam began to think about the dream she had so many years ago. Receiving strong encouragement from others, Pam knew she had to pursue her dream. In May of 2018, a planning meeting was held with several volunteers. Over the next year the groundwork was laid including the approval of a 501c3 application to establish Wits’ End Resources as a nonprofit organization. Pam was committed to offering services free of charge.
Combining her education with her employment and personal experience, Pam created a curriculum focusing on recovery incorporating a wide variety of life-controlling issues. Supported by a team of like-minded volunteers, Wits’ End Resources began to offer Florida based classes in Stuart and Okeechobee, as well as on Zoom. Over the last five years this outreach has flourished. The Breaking the Ties That Bind Series emerged and recovery from codependency has become a primary focus. Pam has seen her vision of women laughing and happy manifest, particularly at the retreats offered yearly.
In 2023 Wits’ End Resources began a collaboration with The Healing Center of Martin County. This holistic wellness center shares the same vision and service model as Wits’ End Resources and has allowed us to broaden the outreach while keeping our mission clear.
