Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember those whose lives have been lost to overdose and stand alongside those carrying grief. Every loss leaves an empty space that can never be replaced.

We also recognize the harm stigma can cause. Compassion, understanding, and connection help create communities where people feel seen, valued, and supported.

Every person matters, and every loss is felt.

Your lived experience can help others.
The challenges you've faced, the lessons you've learned, and the path you've walked may be exactly what someone else needs today.

We're hiring a Peer Support Worker for an exciting new project.
If you've experienced homelessness, mental health challenges, or substance use and have reached a place where you're ready to support others, we'd love to hear from you.

Use your lived expertise to build trust, reduce stigma, and journey alongside Guests as they navigate their own path. Together, you'll help create hope, connection, and belonging.

🌱 The Hopeful Garden is more than a garden. Guests learn to be kind to nature, and in return, that kindness helps healing grow. 💚

How has kindness helped you grow?

We never really know what someone around us may be going through, but we can always choose kindness.

Dr. Haneen Noori has done just that through our Filled With Kindness Dental Volunteer Program, generously sharing time, care, and expertise to help Guests access dental care in a welcoming and compassionate environment.

As she prepares to move away, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for the difference she has made in the lives of so many people. Her kindness helped Guests feel cared for, respected, and supported during difficult times.

Would you like to share your kindness today? We're always looking for dentists who can volunteer a little time to make a meaningful impact.

Thank you, Dr. Noori, for choosing kindness and sharing it so generously with Guests. We wish you all the very best in your next chapter.

💙🩵🧡
