If you agree to participate before asking questions… you might end up with pie in your face. 🥧
A few staff members volunteered for what they thought was a normal office activity. It was not.
Appreciation to the John & Jerred who took one for the group today. The rest of us enjoyed watching.

PARTICIPANT SPOTLIGHT: MATT ✨
When Matt was released from incarceration, he had nowhere to go.
He wasn’t from the area.
He only had the summer clothes he had been arrested in.
And he was headed to the CSU feeling defeated about what came next.
But that moment didn’t define the rest of his story.
Through a quick connection with THRIVE, Jessica was able to pick Matt up and get him into sober living the very same day. From there, things started moving quickly. He was able to get insurance and SNAP benefits in place and attend the court hearing scheduled for the day after his release.
Matt took that opportunity and ran with it.
Today, Matt has a job, serves as president of his sober living house, and continues building a life he’s proud of.
Matt did the hard work. We’re proud to be part of the journey.

Some community spaces just get it right. Pearl Street Game & Coffee House is one of them.
Located in the heart of Jeffersonville, it has become a go-to meeting space for community partners and organizations. It’s a welcoming place for collaboration, planning, trainings, sharing ideas, and having real conversations about the work happening in our community.
A thank you to Jordan York, managing partner of Pearl Street, for consistently opening the doors to the community and partnering on events that bring people together.
We’re grateful to have spaces like this in Jeffersonville.

Black Balloon Day is a day to remember those we’ve lost to overdose and to stand with the families and communities who continue to feel that impact. It’s a national reminder that this crisis is real, it’s personal, and it touches every corner of our communities.
Overdose doesn’t affect just one person. It impacts families, friends, coworkers, and entire neighborhoods. It reminds us how connected we all are and how important it is to show up for each other.
If you or someone you know needs support, reach out. We are here.
Check on your people. Carry Narcan. Have the hard conversations.
Today we remember.

Scott County T.H.R.I.V.E. Recovery Community Organization
Scott County T.H.R.I.V.E. is Scott County’s first Recovery Community Organization (RCO). “T.H.R.I.V.E.” stands for Teaching, Healing, Recovering, Involving, Valuing and Encouraging.
A recovery community organization (RCO) is an independent, non-profit organization led and governed by representatives of local communities of recovery. These organizations organize recovery-focused policy advocacy activities, carry out recovery-focused community education and outreach programs, and/or provide peer-based recovery support services (P-BRSS).
Scott County’s Recovery Community includes people in long-term recovery, their families, friends and allies, including recovery-focused addiction and recovery professionals and organizations whose members reflect religious, spiritual and secular pathways of recovery.
The sole mission of an RCO is to mobilize resources within and outside of the recovery community to increase the prevalence and quality of long-term recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction. Public education, policy advocacy and peer-based recovery support services are the strategies through which this mission is achieved.
T.H.R.I.V.E.’s Vision Statement: Scott County will be an effective and intentional community, working together to educate, support, and advocate recovery for all.
T.H.R.I.V.E.’s Mission Statement: Supporting a healthy transition to recovery by creating awareness, overcoming barriers and advocating for a safe and compassionate community.
