It's No Secret

National Sober Day was established in 2019, during National Recovery Month, and it provides the perfect moment for raising awareness and increasing understanding. This day, September 14th, emphasizes the importance of compassionate conversation about addiction, mental health, and recovery. It serves as a reminder that by maintaining sobriety, you create hope for yourself and others, showing that change is possible.

So proud of this bunch!!

Today we had the honor of doing a presentation at North Barre Manor with a group of incredible community partners. Kudos to the Barre Housing Authority for reaching out and asking us to bring this information to their housing sites. A huge thank you to Eva Zaret of Central Vermont Prevention Coalition for coordinating and bringing these community partners together to offer these presentations. We will be doing 3 more presentations at 3 additional Barre Housing Authority locations in September and we are really looking forward to it!

Thank you to Vermont Cares, BAART, Center for Substance Use Services and Central Vermont Prevention Coalition for partnering with us on these presentations. What an incredible community to be a part of 💜
