September was National Recovery Month and our Community Engagement team showed up at local events across our communities to share plan info and connect with residents and members. These gatherings are such a vital resource—offering support, services, and hope to those navigating addiction and recovery.

This year, we added a special activity to our table: rock painting!

People decorated rocks with uplifting messages and beautiful images. One attendee even painted five inspiring rocks to gift her friends on their recovery journey. It was a powerful reminder of how creativity and kindness can spread healing and hope.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by. You inspire us every day.
