💚 This Saturday, October 17th, the Communities for Recovery team and volunteers will be walking together in support of NAMIWalks Central Texas!

We’re proud to stand alongside our community to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and show support for mental health and recovery. NAMIWalks brings people together around the belief that mental health matters and that no one should have to walk their journey alone.

We invite our community to join us! Come walk with the Communities for Recovery team, connect with others, and help us show support for mental health, recovery, hope, and connection.

📅 Saturday, October 17th
📍 Palmer Event Center
🚶 Walk begins at 9:00 AM

We would love to have you walking alongside us! 💚

I'm supporting NAMI!

🎬🍿 A day at the movies with our recovery community!
Yesterday, Tuesday, September 29, Communities for Recovery hosted a peer outing to Galaxy Theater, and everyone shared that they had a wonderful time!
Recovery includes making space for joy, connection, and shared experiences. We’re grateful for these opportunities to spend time together, build friendships, and enjoy community beyond the center. 💜
Here are a few moments from our outing. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
