Get Involved

Recovery is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

recovery isn’t about quick fixes or fast results. It’s a marathon, not a sprint; understanding this can make all the difference in how you approach the process. This mindset is crucial not only for individuals but also for families who are part of the journey.

Intellectual Pride: A Barrier to Wellness for Individuals and Families

Intellectual pride stems from an overreliance on one’s intellect, reasoning, or perceived knowledge. While confidence in one’s ability to solve problems can be beneficial in many aspects of life, it can be detrimental when it prevents individuals from acknowledging their limitations and seeking external support.

We’re often reminded of what the holidays “are supposed” to be–all about family. But for some, those reminders feel like an insult, a stark contrast to personal reality.

If your family dynamic is more fraught than festive, it’s okay to recognize that your holidays don’t need to mirror anyone else’s.

This blog offers support, strategies, and resources to help you navigate this tender time.
