Big recovery energy at Rutgers this week!

From live music by to an inspiring panel with Lauren Sisler and other amazing voices in recovery, the energy was nothing short of incredible. We loved being part of it and connecting with so many passionate folks in the recovery space. 🎶

The Mobilize Recovery Campus Surge gave us the chance to meet students, advocates, and providers who are all working toward the same mission: making recovery visible and supported on campus.

We had a great time at the Middlesex County Blue Cares Community Resource Fair in Perth Amboy last week! 💜

It was inspiring to see so many organizations and community members come together to support recovery, share resources, and connect people to care. From providing Narcan to health and housing services, the event was a reminder of how much impact we can make when we all show up for one another. 💜

We were so glad to be part of it and to share more about what TRS offers to the recovery community across New Jersey.

This past weekend, the TRS team spent the morning at the Mayor’s Annual Health Fair in Woodbridge! 🎃🍂 It was such a great time connecting with the community, talking about recovery, and spreading the word about the support we offer through TRS.

Between the pumpkin painting, local vendors, and wellness activities, it was a perfect reminder that recovery and health go hand in hand — and that community plays a big part in both. 💜

We’re always thankful for opportunities like this to share resources and meet others who care about making recovery support accessible for everyone in New Jersey.

This past weekend, we spent the afternoon at the 2nd Annual Peer Recovery Picnic at Mercer County Park! The sun was shining, the community showed up, and the energy was filled with love, laughter, and connection. 🌤️

From sharing stories to enjoying good food together, it was a beautiful reminder of the power of community in recovery. We’re so grateful to have been part of it—both to share about TRS and to connect personally with folks in the community!

This month, our TRS team came together for a refresher training — a chance to pause, reconnect, and get back to the roots of why we do this work. 🌱

It was a day of grounding, team building, and brushing up on skills so we can keep showing up as our best selves for the people we serve. These moments remind us that recovery support is built not only on knowledge, but on compassion, connection, and trust.

Every training helps us grow stronger as a team — and that means better support for every individual who picks up the phone to hear from us. 💜

🌟 On September 12, TRS was proud to attend the 9th Annual Peer Recovery Support Summit, Advancing Recovery: Peer-Led, People-Centered.

This year’s theme highlighted the power of peer leadership and person-centered care — values that are at the heart of what we do at TRS.

A special moment for our team: our very own peer, Chris Malalis, who took the stage with her presentation, “Theirs Is Theirs, Mine Is Mine: Trusting the Process in Peer Work.” 💜
Chris spoke on the importance of boundaries, self-awareness, and trust in the peer role — reminding us that effective peer support means walking alongside someone, not directing their journey. Her message captured the heart of recovery: respect, empathy, and mutual growth. We are so beyond proud of Chris for representing TRS and shining a light on the power of lived experience in recovery!

& We’re so grateful to for creating a space where peers, providers, and community members can come together to learn, collaborate, and strengthen recovery support across New Jersey.
