It's ! 💜
This year's theme, "988 Reasons: Your reason is reason enough," reminds us that you don't have to be in crisis to reach out to the 988 Lifeline. Whatever you're facing, support is available.

September is also self care month. In a time when we're focusing on our work, our families and the world around us, it's easy to forget about ourselves when we're on our recovery journey. Here are some good tips for prioritizing oneself:
1) Reduces Stress: Chronic stress acts as a major trigger for returning to old habits. Practices like exercise and deep breathing calm the nervous system.
2) Restores the Body: Active addiction often harms physical health. Good nutrition, hydration, and proper sleep help repair the body and clear the mind.
3) Builds Emotional Balance: Recovery brings intense feelings like anxiety, shame, or grief. Healthy outlets like journaling, therapy, and mindfulness teach you to process these emotions safely.
4) Fosters Self-Worth: Taking time for your own well-being teaches you that your life and health have value.

Wearing purple in support of Overdose Awareness Day. Setting up for the Overdose awareness event at the bandstand last week, a question was posed, "How much longer are we going to be doing this?" The answer from one of our peer recovery specialists who has been on the recovery journey - she responded, "As long as it takes!"
Grateful for law enforcement, the courts, the agencies, community leaders, families and individuals who are committed to end overdose in Fairfield County. 💜

More than 20 agencies showed up to share resources, services and support as we remembered the 29 individuals lost to overdose in 2025 and shared messages of hope and recovery throughout the evening.
