Supporting Youth Through Grief This Holiday Season

The holidays can bring both joy and heartache, especially for those who are grieving. At ARCHway Institute, we are proud to partner with Prevention Action Alliance to share their Know! Prevention Tips for Everyone, a resource designed to help families and communities navigate life’s challenges together.

This month’s Know! tip focuses on helping youth cope with grief during the holidays.
Grief can surface in unexpected ways for young people, especially when traditions or routines remind them of loss. These tips encourage families to:
💜 Talk openly about changes to traditions
💜 Create new ways to honor loved ones
💜 Maintain routines where possible
💜 Allow this season to be different and filled with compassion

Grieving during the holidays will always be difficult, but no one has to face it alone. By listening with love, creating space for remembrance, and modeling healthy coping, we can help youth feel supported and understood.

Visit Prevention Action Alliance’s Know! program for more resources and prevention tips for everyone. Together, we can build connection, understanding, and hope one conversation at a time. 💚

Today we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage, dedication, and sacrifice. Your commitment to protecting our freedoms reminds us what true service looks like.

ARCHway Institute is proud to announce a growing partnership with the Cape Coral Police Department, a collaboration built on hope, compassion, and community connection. Together, we are breaking down barriers and working hand in hand to support individuals and families impacted by substance use and mental health challenges.

This partnership represents what recovery looks like when a community comes together. Law enforcement, nonprofits, and neighbors are uniting with one mission in mind: to offer second chances and healing.

We are also thrilled to share that through our partnership with Cape Coral, ARCHway has provided over $11,000 in recovery housing scholarships this year, helping individuals find safe, supportive environments where recovery can thrive. One of these scholarships was awarded to Serenity Recovery this past weekend at our Connection in the Park event. It was a powerful moment that reminded us why we do this work.

Connection in the Park was a celebration of community, collaboration, and hope. Thank you to the Cape Coral Police Department, our sponsors, vendors, and every person who showed up to make recovery visible and possible. 💚

🌟 Exciting News from the Prunty Family! 🌟

ARCHway Institute is thrilled to celebrate one of our very own board members, Kelly Prunty, and her son Henry, for their incredible contribution to both literature and recovery awareness. 💚

Together, Kelly and 17-year-old Henry have just published a beautiful children’s book titled “Lola’s Friends”, written by Kelly and illustrated by Henry. 🐾

📖 About the Book:
Take a walk with Lola and meet all her special friends in the neighborhood. From sharing peanut butter treats to chasing bubbles, each dog has its own unique personality, reminding us that just like people, every one of us is special and one-of-a-kind.

✨ The Prunty family is donating a portion of the proceeds from Lola’s Friends to the Prunty Family Hope Fund, which directly supports ARCHway Institute’s mission to provide hope, resources, and support for recovery.

We are also proud to announce that Henry Prunty will be receiving a Community Impact Award for his dedication and creativity in helping spread the message of hope and healing through this project. 💫

🌱 At ARCHway Institute, we believe prevention starts with awareness.

We’re excited to share a great resource from the Prevention Action Alliance called Know! Tips — a free program that provides parents, teachers, and caring adults with tools to help youth make healthier choices.

Know! Tips sends out two helpful emails each month with current information about youth substance use, mental health, and how to start meaningful conversations. It’s a simple way to stay informed and connected with the young people in your life.

At ARCHway, we know that when families and communities work together, recovery and prevention become stronger. Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools we can share.
