🎓 Congratulations to Our Recent Graduate! 🎓

In her own journey, she shared how she once hid her emotions behind masks—pretending everything was “rainbows and sunshine” until anger took over. Feelings like pride, sadness, shame, anxiety, and guilt were hard to express.

At Santa Monica, she learned to identify, manage, and share those emotions in healthy ways. She worked through 36 resentments, embraced relapse prevention, healthy relationships, DBT, art therapy, and more—showing up fully for every class.

She expressed gratitude to Cece for helping her dig deep, Monique for believing in her, Larissa for the laughter, Shannon for giving her this chance, Leslie for reminding her she’s human, and Tiffany for being a role model.

Join us in celebrating this incredible milestone and the strength it took to get here! 💜

🎄The Christmas pickle is hiding in the tree!

What’s the story?

Legend says the pickle ornament is hidden deep in the tree on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning, the first person to find it gets a special gift—or good luck for the year ahead!

No one knows for sure where it started (some say Germany, others say it was a clever marketing idea), but it’s a fun way to add a little mystery and cheer to your holiday.

Do you follow this quirky holiday tradition?
Tell us below! 👇 ...can you find the pickle in OUR tree?

🎓 Congratulations to our recent graduate!

Your words remind us why we do what we do:
"Thank you, Santa Monica, for helping me do what I couldn’t do for myself. To all the staff—thank you for making this feel like home, never ‘us vs. them.’ Amber, thank you for pushing me to be vulnerable and never giving up."

To her peers, family, and everyone who stood by her—your support means the world to her. This journey takes courage, and you’ve shown incredible strength. We are so proud of you! 💙
