Building relationships matters.

✨ Fun Friday Highlight – Growing So We Can Serve More ✨

For today’s Fun Friday, we’re highlighting something a little different!

A couple of our staff members had the opportunity to attend a networking event through the Affinity Group. The focus of today’s conversation? Fundraising, Development & Marketing.

Why does that matter for Reach?

Because strong fundraising and thoughtful marketing allow us to:
💙 Sustain and grow our recovery programs
💙 Reach more individuals and families in need
💙 Build meaningful community partnerships
💙 Reduce stigma through education and awareness
💙 Ensure long-term impact in the communities we serve

Development and marketing aren’t just about dollars — they’re about telling the story of recovery, building trust, and creating opportunities for people to access life-changing support.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this to learn, collaborate, and strengthen the work we do every day. When we grow behind the scenes, it helps us serve better on the front lines.

Some stories don’t just inspire — they remind us why we do this work.

After 15 years of trying, learning, and fighting… something clicked.

Recovery isn’t about never stumbling.
It’s about never giving up on coming back.

We are honored to walk alongside individuals who choose growth, even after setbacks. That’s courage. That’s strength. That’s hope.

Today we celebrate progress.
Today we celebrate resilience.
Today we celebrate recovery. 💙

🌟 Fun Friday Staff Spotlight – Supporting Our Residential Aides! 🌟

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the incredible Residential Aides at Reach for Recovery!

Residential Aides are so much more than staff — they are mentors, supporters, and steady encouragement for our residents every single day. They play an essential role in daily operations and resident support, including:

Administering medications accurately as scheduled

Enforcing house rules fairly and with empathy

Conducting regular checks of resident rooms

Helping implement a structured daily schedule

Transporting residents to recovery meetings and appointments

Supervising morning, evening, or overnight shifts

They’re often the first smile in the morning, the calm during tough moments, and the consistent presence that helps residents stay on track with their goals. Their dedication and care help turn our residential houses into true homes.

We truly couldn’t do this work without them. And to each of you — you know who you are — thank you for showing up, caring deeply, and making a difference in the day-to-day lives of our residents. 💙

Today at our All-Recovery Meeting, and in honor of Valentine’s Day this Saturday, our topic was: It Starts with Self-Love. ❤️

We talked about why self-love is so crucial to sobriety and healing. Because the truth is… recovery isn’t just about stopping something — it’s about learning to care for ourselves in a whole new way.

We did a self-awareness exercise where we filled out things we love about being us. Not what we’ve accomplished. Not what we do for others. Just who we are.

And wow… hearing people speak kindly about themselves — and hearing affirmations from others — was so powerful. You could feel the room soften.

So many of us are used to self-criticism, guilt, or shame. But recovery asks us to try something different:
✨ grace
✨ compassion
✨ self-acceptance

Because when we learn to love ourselves, we start believing we’re worth the work. Worth the healing. Worth the sobriety.

Recovery becomes a priority when we remember: we matter.

Today was a beautiful reminder that self-love isn’t selfish — it’s necessary. And every single one of us is worthy of it. ❤️❤️❤️

🌟 Fun Friday Staff Spotlight: John Sherman, CPRC 🌟

We’re excited to shine the spotlight on John Sherman – Residential Admission Coordinator & Residential House Manager!

John plays a vital role in welcoming new residents into our program and helping create a safe, supportive, and structured home environment each day. From coordinating admissions to managing the house and supporting clients through every step of their journey, he brings calm leadership, consistency, and compassion to everything he does.

What makes John’s work especially meaningful is that he’s in recovery himself. He understands firsthand the challenges our residents face and brings empathy, authenticity, and lived experience into every interaction — offering hope and proof that recovery truly is possible.

And if you know John, you know he’s not just dependable — he’s the guy who can turn a tough day around in minutes. Quick with a joke, full of personality, and always bringing positive energy, John is fun, approachable, and full of character. He has a special way of lifting spirits and making everyone feel welcome.

We’re so grateful for the heart, humor, and dedication you bring to the team, John. Thank you for all you do for our residents and our community! 💙

Testimony Tuesday 💛
Every story of recovery is a story of courage. Today, with her permission, we’re sharing a recent client’s story to highlight the strength it takes to ask for help, face the hard truths, and choose hope on the other side of addiction.

At Reach, we’re honored to walk alongside individuals and families as they rebuild, rediscover themselves, and reclaim their lives. Healing isn’t always easy—but no one has to do it alone.

Your journey matters. Your voice matters. Recovery is possible.

Recovery isn’t just about stopping substance use — it’s about learning new tools.

Healthy coping skills can include:
• setting boundaries
• practicing stress management
• building support systems
• attending educational classes

The more we learn, the stronger we become.

Fun Friday Staff Spotlight

Meet Our Clinical Director: Sheila Day, LMSW, CAADC, CCS-DP!

Sheila began her social work journey in 1988 after earning her MSW from Indiana University—and she’s been making an impact ever since. Early in her career, she helped establish Indiana’s second hospital-based child protection team, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of advocacy and care.

Since moving to Michigan in 2017, Sheila has focused on addiction treatment through private practice and the 58th District Sobriety Treatment Court. She also brings her expertise to the broader field by serving on the Michigan Association of Treatment Court Professionals Board and the Michigan State Drug Treatment Court Advisory Committee.

Outside of work, Sheila is all about family and fresh air. She and her husband, Jeff, have four adult children and seven grandchildren. In her free time, she enjoys yard work, reading, art, and soaking up the outdoors.

We’re grateful for Sheila’s leadership, experience, and heart for the work she does every day—thanks for all you bring to our team!
