We had a festive time in peer group today making holiday ornaments and discussing “Holiday Traditions: What We Keep and What We Change in Recovery” 🎄

Clients got to choose what to write on their ornament and were able to take their creations home for themselves or to give as gifts to loved ones!

Our staff got out on the ice with clients and their families tonight at the Donate to Skate event at Valley Children’s Ice Center. We brought lots of delicious food donations and had a great time. Here’s two of our supervisors having a blast skating at the event!

The La Vida Nueva café was busy today! We offer meals all day to anyone who is hungry while attending services at our outpatient program. As you can see, our 8:15am group was extra hungry today.

Clinica Sierra Vista is on site with La Vida Nueva today providing physicals to our clients and anyone else who needs one! They are parked along Tower Way right behind our office in the Stockdale Towers. If you are a current La Vida Nueva client and have not had your physical yet, please come in today to see the mobile team. They will be out here until 5pm with a short break from 12:30-1:30 for lunch.

Thank you to Clinica for offering this vital service to our clients! If you missed them today, the mobile unit will be back on Monday, November 17.

Today was so much fun! Clients and staff went hiking at the Windwolves Preserve where we learned a lot of interesting information about our native plants and animals and local history from our amazing guide Danvir. It was so nice to unplug from our day-to-day lives and enjoy the scenery and companionship.

It’s Spirit Week at La Vida Nueva and our staff were not letting the opportunity to wear jammies to work pass them by! Here’s some of our staff dressed up for Pajama Day today. See you all for Wacky Hair Day tomorrow!

We are at the Maricopa Unified School District this morning to celebrate Red Ribbon Week. We will be teaching the youth about substance use disorders, fentanyl, and doing a Narcan demonstration.

And can you believe that view? 😍

We had so much fun today at the Recovery Picnic. Clients brought their families for games, volleyball, food, and quality time with their favorite staff. We had an amazing turnout — thank you to everyone who came out!

Today, we did an art activity where clients made necklaces containing healing crystals, dried herbs and flowers, and essential oils. Each client chose crystals and herbs that have properties that they want to manifest in their lives. Essential oils were added to each bottle at the end so clients can ground themselves through scent if they need it while they are on the go. Some clients chose to add positive affirmations to their necklaces, as well. The clients had so much fun making their beautiful creations!

Our clients like to go all out for graduation! We have homemade mole, rice, and cake. After walking, graduates are asked to paint a square on our wall to leave a piece of their legacy behind as inspiration for others ❤️
