At Face Addiction Now, we believe there’s no single path to recovery, and we’re proud to share that message wherever we go. 💙

Our Recovery Community Coordinator, Amy Brune, recently presented on “Implementing Multiple Pathways to Recovery and Enhancing Recovery Capital” at the Michigan Association for Addiction Professionals conference in Lansing.

We’re grateful for opportunities to contribute to conversations that move the field forward. (Amy is pictured on the right with another presenter, Devon Frontczak.)

Several FAN team members spent Tuesday and Wednesday participating in Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), a two-day workshop that teaches participants how to recognize when someone may be at risk of su***de and how to help keep them safe.

This important training equips participants with the skills to better understand attitudes around su***de, guide someone through a crisis, and help develop effective safety plans.

A special thank-you to Jewish Family Service of Metro Detroit and the ASIST training team for offering such a meaningful and impactful workshop. We’re grateful for opportunities like this that allow our staff to continue learning and strengthening the support we provide to our community. 💙

It's raining. It's Saturday.

And there's a team sitting at our office right now, dialing through a list of every runner, walker, and team captain from last year's Run Drugs Out of Town.

Not because they had to. Because they wanted to.

Asking one question: Are you ready for June 27th?

When you show up on June 27th, you're surrounded by people who've been where you've been. Some are there for the first time. Some have been coming back for years. And every one of them is what keeps real solutions moving forward for people in recovery and the families who love them.

To the telethon team who came in on their day off — this is what showing up looks like. Thank you.
