HOPE looks like this. 💙

Todd and Teri McLaughlin are proud ARCHway HOPE Fund Sponsors, and their story is one so many families know all too well.

When their son Cole was struggling with he**in addiction, Todd and Teri tried everything they could. Rehabs. Counseling. Doing what they thought loving parents were supposed to do. Still, nothing worked, and hope began to fade. As Todd shared, one of the hardest realizations was recognizing when love had crossed into enabling.

That’s when ARCHway Institute stepped in.

ARCHway helped Todd and Teri understand how to stop enabling and connected Cole to the right resources. He entered a Medication-Assisted Treatment program, received Vivitrol, and lived in recovery housing surrounded by peers who were thriving in recovery. Just as important, Todd and Teri found hope by hearing stories from others who had once been where Cole was and were now living full, healthy lives.

Today, Cole is in long-term recovery. He has a stable career and is preparing to become a father. As Teri shared, “If it wasn’t for ARCHway, Cole probably wouldn’t be alive today.”

In gratitude, Todd and Teri started the Todd and Teri McLaughlin HOPE Fund in 2021. Their goal is to help cover recovery housing, MAT treatment, and to educate families so they know they are not alone and that there is hope beyond stigma.

Their message is simple and powerful: Never give up hope. Help exists. Recovery is possible.

Right now we are hosting an Underwear Drive to support people in need in our community. Clean underwear is something so basic but it makes a HUGE difference for someone trying to get back on their feet. Everyone deserves dignity, comfort and hope no matter where they are in their journey.

Please give what you can. Every donation helps provide NEW underwear and socks to people who need it most.

👉 Donate here: https://archwayinstitute-bloom.kindful.com/?campaign=1284975

Let’s show up for our neighbors and prove that love looks like action!

ELEVATE: Emerging Peer Leaders 💛
Peer support is growing — and so is peer leadership.
Emerging peer leaders are showing up every day with:
✨ compassion
✨ professionalism
✨ strong boundaries
✨ lived experience used with purpose
✨ and a deep commitment to recovery
Leadership in peer support doesn’t always look like a title.
Sometimes it looks like:
* mentoring a new peer
* speaking up in a meeting
* advocating for a participant’s voice and choice
* modeling sustainability and self-care
* helping strengthen the team culture
In service of universal access to peer-led support — we see you, and we’re cheering you on. 💛

🎉 Save the Date for the 2026 St. Louis Gala: Path to Possibility 💫

We are excited to invite you to the 2026 St. Louis Gala: Path to Possibility, hosted by The ARCHway Institute. This evening is more than a celebration. It is a reflection of hope, resilience, and what is possible when a community comes together to support individuals and families impacted by addiction and mental health challenges.

Sponsorship is at the heart of this event. When you sponsor the Gala, you are not just supporting a night out. You are investing directly in people’s recovery. Your support helps fund recovery scholarships, expand access to treatment, and remove barriers that often stand between someone and the help they desperately need. Sponsorship means becoming part of someone’s second chance.

Whether you join us in person, partner with us as a sponsor, or support the mission from afar, your involvement creates real pathways to healing and long term recovery.

Thank you for believing in recovery, community, and the power of possibility. We look forward to celebrating with you. 💙
