Thank you for making The Petersen Family Speaker Series 42nd Annual Spring Luncheon such a wonderful event! Because of your incredible generosity and commitment, we raised more than $610,000 to support individuals and families on their path to recovery. Over 800 guests gathered to celebrate the gifts of recovery and hear Carnie Wilson share her story with vulnerability, strength, and hope.

Your support helps break the shame and stigma surrounding substance use disorder and ensures that life-changing resources remain available to those who need them most. There’s still time to make an impact - give now at https://igfn.us/form/Bm4v3g.

You have our heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for making this impactful event possible! And don't forget to mark your calendars for Friday, November 6th, for The Petersen Family Speaker Series 2026 Fall Luncheon!

Spring schedules can get busy quickly, so staying connected can make all the difference. When a loved one is struggling, send a check-in text, offer a listening ear, or simply be present with them. Small acts of support show them they're not alone.

We had a thoughtful, engaging, and dynamic Motivational Interviewing CEU session last week, led by Dr. Liz Ross. Over 35 professionals explored ambivalence, strengthened evoking skills, and navigated resistance with intention and care, leaving ready to implement this knowledge into their daily work.

A big thank you to the facilitator, Dr. Liz Ross (Coping Resource Center) for her expertise and insights into MI. We look forward to collaborating again for future professional development opportunities!
