Staff Spotlight Thursday!

As we near Thanksgiving and other seasonal holiday celebrations, be reminded that this time of year can be more challenging for those in recovery. Try to remain patient with yourself and others who may be affected by this time of year.

We created some simple reminders and points of reflection that can assist those in need. We hope you may find them useful.

If you or a loved one is in need of mental health counseling or addiction recovery, please reach out via PM, our website and or our phone number. Help is available 😊
