Ford Castino

Mentor & Case Manager

I am excited to be part of the PF team as a Resident Mentor and Assistant Case Manager.

I am grateful that I found recovery after my own experience with addiction and mental health. I am deeply passionate about the power of compassionate relationships, individualized support, and 12-Step recovery.

I come from a family that has deep experience with mental health, traumatic loss, and substance abuse.  As a result, I have an unwavering belief in the resilience of the human spirit and potential for change.

I am committed to helping PF residents remember to laugh, have fun, pursue hobbies, and connect with each other. Life in recovery has led me to great personal transformation; I love to share my enthusiasm for recovery with our community.

I am bit of a goof, a lover of all things Chicago sports, 90s grunge music, concerts, guitar, board sports, and not acting my age, whatever that means. I am a dad to an incredible toddler-aged son.
