April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and at Amare, we believe every child deserves to grow up safe, supported, and surrounded by people who care.

We’re honored to be part of the kickoff event today with Refuge and Riverbend Family Ministries, connecting with our community, sharing resources, and reminding families that they are not alone.

Prevention starts with awareness.
It grows through connection.
And it thrives in communities that choose to show up for one another.

If you’re out today, come see us, say hello, and learn more about how we can support you and your family.

Because protecting children isn’t just a cause… it’s a commitment. 💙

Happy Birthday to our Recovery Support Program Director, Alida Kistler! 🎉

Alida is truly a staple at Amare. One of a kind and always willing to step in to help anyone in need. She somehow manages our wonderfully dysfunctional work family with grace (even if her face occasionally tells a different story… only kidding! 😄).

She truly embodies what it means to be a peer support specialist, leading with compassion, authenticity, and heart every single day. We are so lucky to have her on our team.

Wishing you the best birthday, Alida! You deserve it! 💛

There’s something sacred about showing up after the storm has passed.

Today, our Amare team had the honor of serving at the O.W.L. (Overnight Warming Location) in Alton—helping clean and reset the space after what we hope was the final activation of the season. Blankets folded, floors swept, supplies sorted… quiet acts that carry loud love.

These walls have held stories of survival, warmth, and community over the coldest nights. And while we’re grateful for the changing weather, we never forget the reality that brought people through those doors.

Service doesn’t always look like big moments. Sometimes it looks like staying behind… restoring… preparing… caring.

Proud of our team for being the hands and feet of compassion—today and always. 💛

Special thanks to Issac and Kristina Sandidge for giving us the opportunity to help out today!

Addiction rarely storms the gates of a life. It arrives like the Trojan Horse.

It shows up disguised as relief, excitement, connection, escape, or control. Something that seems helpful… even comforting. Something we willingly welcome inside our walls.

But once it settles in, the story changes.

What once promised freedom begins to quietly take power. It steals time, peace, relationships, and identity until the very thing we invited in begins to rule the space it was given.

That’s the tragedy of addiction.
But it’s also where recovery begins.

Recovery is the moment we recognize the deception, open the gates, and begin reclaiming what was taken. Brick by brick. Choice by choice. Day by day.

If you or someone you love is fighting this battle, know this: the power addiction tried to steal can be rebuilt. And no one has to do that work alone.

Today the sky fills with black balloons.

Each one represents a life lost to overdose.

But behind every balloon was a person who laughed, loved, struggled, and mattered.

They were someone’s child.
Someone’s best friend.
Someone’s whole world.

They were not “junkies.”
They were not statistics.

They were human beings who deserved more time.

Today we remember them.
We speak their names.
And we refuse to let their stories be forgotten.

Grateful for a powerful afternoon at Illinois Recovery Center in Swansea. 🤝
We had the opportunity to tour the facility and sit down together to talk about how we can continue strengthening our collaboration and creating even clearer pathways for the people we serve.
When organizations share the same heartbeat for recovery, conversations shift from “what do you do?” to “how do we do this better together?”
We deeply value the work Illinois Recovery Center is doing and the intentional, professional care they provide every day. It’s an honor to partner with a team that is committed to excellence and long-term healing.
Stronger together. Always. 💙

Full circle moments are rare. Today was one of them.

We had the honor of sitting down with Ty Bechel, the original founder of Amare, whose early vision planted seeds that are still bearing fruit today. 🌱

Now serving with Sana Lake Recovery Center, Ty continues to expand the impact of recovery work in powerful ways. To share lunch, stories, and a mutual heart for people rebuilding their lives felt like stepping into both our history and our future at the same time.

Grateful for the foundation. Grateful for the growth. Grateful for leaders who never stop believing that recovery is possible. 🤍
