🀝 COMMUNITY PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: TruHealing Hagerstown 🀝

As we continue recognizing National Recovery Month, today we want to take a moment to recognize one of our valued community partners, TruHealing Hagerstown. πŸ’™

At On Our Own of Frederick County, our Peer Recovery Specialists work with individuals in all stages of recovery and change. One important stage is the β€œAction” phaseβ€”the point when someone is ready to take what they've been considering and turn it into action.

When that moment comes, we're here and ready to help connect people with the resources they need to take their next step. 🌱

Just this week, one of our peers came into the center ready to take that next step and enter inpatient treatment.

Through our relationship with TruHealing Hagerstown, we were able to:

πŸ“ž Connect the peer directly with their admissions office
πŸ—£οΈ Complete a phone assessment
πŸ₯ Coordinate admission into treatment
🚐 Arrange transportation
⏱️ And have the peer picked up and on their way to treatment within just a few hours

This is what peer support and community partnerships in action can look like.

Sometimes a person has been thinking about making a change for days, weeks, months, or even years. When they finally say, β€œI'm ready,” having someone there who can help them take that next step can make all the difference.

We want to give a special THANK YOU to TruHealing Hagerstown for being a valued partner in our community and for helping us support people when they are ready to take action in their recovery. πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’›

Recovery is possible.
Change is possible.
And you don't have to take the next step alone.

πŸ’œ THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY πŸ’œ

Recovery doesn't happen in isolation. It happens in community.

As we continue celebrating National Recovery Month and recognizing National Su***de Prevention Month, today we want to remind everyone of something simple but powerful:

You don't have to do this alone.

Having people around you who listen, understand, encourage, and support you can make a tremendous difference. Sometimes community is a peer who has walked a similar path. Sometimes it's a friend, family member, support group, or simply a safe place where you can be yourself.

At On Our Own of Frederick County, we believe that connection is part of recovery. Our peer-led community provides opportunities to connect with others, share experiences, find resources, and build relationships.

🀝 You belong here.
πŸ’œ Your story matters.
🌱 There is hope for what comes next.

This week, take a moment to reach out to someone. Check in. Start a conversation. Let someone know you're thinking about them.

You never know how much that connection might mean.

Today, September 11, we pause to remember.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and remember the families, friends, first responders, service members, and communities whose lives were forever changed.

We remember the 2,977 people who lost their lives that day, and we honor the courage and compassion shown by so many in the days and years that followed.

Today also reminds us of the importance of connection and looking out for one anotherβ€”something that is especially meaningful during National Recovery Month and National Su***de Prevention Month.

In difficult moments, we may not always know what someone else is carrying. A simple β€œHow are you doing?”, a listening ear, or letting someone know they are not alone can matter more than we realize.

Today, let us remember those we lost, honor those who continue to carry their memories, and choose kindness, compassion, and connection.

We remember. We honor. We stand together. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. πŸ’œ

This September, as we recognize National Recovery Month and National Su***de Prevention Month, we are reminded of just how important connection, community, and hope are.

At On Our Own of Frederick County, we see every day how peer support can make a difference. Sometimes having someone who listens, someone who understands, or simply having a safe place to belong can be an important part of someone's journey.

Your support helps us keep that connection available. πŸ’œ

Today, we're asking our community to consider becoming a recurring donor to On Our Own.

A recurring giftβ€”whether it's $5, $10, $20, or whatever works for youβ€”helps provide ongoing support for the programs, peer services, activities, and welcoming community that our peers rely on.

🌱 Your monthly support helps us continue to:

πŸ’œ Provide peer support
🀝 Build meaningful connections
🏑 Maintain a welcoming recovery community
✨ Create opportunities for growth and recovery
πŸ—£οΈ Remind people that they are seen, heard, and valued

Small gifts can make a lasting difference when we do it together.
