Thank you so much to the White County Public Defender Office for sponsoring our Free Laundry Day Event at Angie’s Wash & Fold! We are so lucky to have such a great Office of Public Defender. They spent all afternoon and evening helping people wash and dry their clothes. And a huge thanks to Angie, who is always so kind and helpful! We helped 63 families, washed and dried 250 loads of laundry, distributed lots of recovery info, and talked to every single person who came in. We 💜 you White County. See you next month!

Every year, Substance Use Counselor, Stacey Miller, kicks off Recovery Month by dying her hair purple. Stacey has helped countless people find recovery over the years, and she always goes out of her way to support the recovery community. We decided we should join her in the tradition. We all want to be more like Stacey. 💜

Thank you, WPSD Channel 6, for covering our 13th Annual Overdose Awareness Day Event. 💜

We are so proud of how well the event went—but we are even more proud of our Recovery Services Program Manager, Chris Dennis, and Peer Support Specialist, Kindra York, for stepping out of their comfort zone and interviewing for the news. They both did phenomenal and are both the perfect examples that Recovery is Possible. 💜
