Voices of Hope partnered with the Wings Community Programs for their summer children’s program. The children painted rocks that say ‘Pick Me Up’ on one side and an inspirational saying or word on the other side, something as simple as ‘HOPE’. The rocks were randomly placed in downtown areas and rural places such as hiking trails and parks.
Voices of Hope partners with local libraries on book projects. The first one was ‘Flight of the Puffin’ by Ann Braden. The book centers around four children who all feel a little bit alone, with very different circumstances. One of the characters decides to draw a picture on index cards and include a motivational comment that goes with the picture. She tries to put these in places where people will find them and hopefully brighten their day. Kits of colored pencils and index cards will be available at the libraries for the children to do the same.
Every year Voices of Hope plans Save a Life Day which distributes Narcan and provides training to people in our community. mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life.
Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery, this observance reinforces the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.
There are millions of Americans whose lives have been transformed through recovery. Since these successes often go unnoticed by the broader population, Recovery Month provides a vehicle for everyone to celebrate these accomplishments. Each September, tens of thousands of prevention, treatment, and recovery programs and facilities around the country celebrate Recovery Month. They speak about strides made by those in recovery and share their success stories with their neighbors, friends, and colleagues. In doing so, everyone helps to increase awareness and foster a greater understanding about mental and substance use disorders.
