Today is National Naloxone Awareness Day. 💜

Naloxone is a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and help save a life. Having it with you means you could help someone in an emergency when every second counts.

Naloxone is available at YRC and we encourage our community to carry it and share it with others.

Looking out for each other can make a real difference. 💜

Hoy es el Día Nacional de Concientización sobre la Naloxona. 💜

La naloxona es un medicamento que puede revertir una sobredosis de opioides y ayudar a salvar una vida. Tenerla contigo significa que podrías ayudar a alguien en una emergencia cuando cada segundo cuenta.

La naloxona está disponible en YRC y animamos a nuestra comunidad a cargarla y compartirla con otras personas.
Cuidarnos entre todos puede hacer una gran diferencia. 💜

We’re Youth Recovery Connections 👋

Most people know us for supporting youth, but that’s just part of what we do. Many community members are surprised to learn we also support parents, caregivers, families, and adults across our community.

And we don’t stop at substance use support. We’re here for real-life needs and real-life goals.

From parenting education and peer support to wellness coaching, care coordination, reentry support, and more—we offer services that meet people where they are and support where they want to go.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting these programs and how they show up for our community. You might find support you didn’t know was here for you or someone you care about. 💜

Somos Youth Recovery Connections 👋

Mucha gente nos conoce por el apoyo que brindamos a jóvenes, pero eso es solo una parte de lo que hacemos. A muchos miembros de la comunidad les sorprende saber que también apoyamos a mamás, papás, cuidadores, familias y personas adultas de toda nuestra comunidad.

Y no nos enfocamos únicamente en el apoyo relacionado con el consumo de sustancias. Estamos aquí para ayudar con necesidades reales y metas reales de la vida.

Desde educación para padres y apoyo entre pares, hasta acompañamiento para el bienestar, coordinación de servicios, apoyo para la reintegración y mucho más, ofrecemos servicios que se adaptan a la situación de cada persona y la apoyan para llegar a donde quiere estar.

Durante las próximas semanas estaremos compartiendo más sobre estos programas y cómo apoyan a nuestra comunidad. Tal vez descubras recursos y apoyo que no sabías que estaban disponibles para ti o para alguien que te importa. 💜

Meet Monica! 💜

Monica enjoys connecting with parents, learning about their needs, and helping them set goals that move them toward where they want to be. One of her favorite parts of the job is seeing the positive impact the YRC team has on individuals, families, and the community.

For Monica, this work is meaningful because it allows her to support parents through challenges, celebrate their successes, and be part of their journey. She believes that when we work together to support families, we create positive change that reaches far beyond one person.

A few fun facts about Monica:
🌳 Favorite hobby: Spending time in nature, hiking, reading, and writing
🍦 Favorite snacks: Chips, chocolate cake, and ice cream
🎵 She enjoys Spanish rock, reggae, and classical music
🎙️ Her favorite podcasts are those that focus on personal growth and development
😂 Fun fact: Monica loves playing pranks on her children, siblings, nieces, and nephews!

We’re grateful to have Monica on the YRC team and for the care, compassion, and leadership she brings to our community every day. 💙

Big shoutout to Public Health for partnering with us last month and holding a FREE Naloxone (Narcan) Drive-Through! 🙌💙

The community showed up strong! We ran out of Narcan within the first 30 minutes and had to call for backup. 🚗💨

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, we distributed over 100 boxes of Naloxone—helping make our community safer, one box at a time.

Thank you for showing up, spreading awareness, and being part of the solution. 💪✨

Did you know Youth Recovery Connections has interns? 🤯

Hi everyone! My name is Genessis, and I’m currently an MPH student at San José State University interning with YRC! I’ll be helping out with social media content.

A little about me:
🍿 Favorite snacks/drinks: Butter popcorn, pretzels, Dr Pepper, and LaCroix
🎮 Favorite hobby: Anime, reading webtoons/manga, and playing video games
✨ Favorite series: The Legend of Zelda
🎵 Fun fact: I listen to a lot of J-pop and K-pop even though I don’t know what they’re saying 😭

I work and grew up in Hollister, so this community is important to me. Before public health, I studied psyc, and through my own experience with mental health challenges, I learned how important it is for people and organizations to show up for others. YRC provides a lot of people support and care, and I hope for everyone to get to know them a bit better —I’m learning a lot myself! 🫶

Mental health is part of overall health. Just like we take care of our physical health, we all have mental health that deserves care and attention too.

Some people also live with mental health conditions that can make daily life more difficult, but support is available. At YRC, we help people with mental health issues connect to the healthcare or services they may need.

No one should have to go through difficult times alone. 🫶


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La salud mental es parte de la salud en general. Así como cuidamos nuestra salud física, todos tenemos salud mental que también merece cuidado y atención.

Algunas personas viven con condiciones de salud mental que pueden hacer más difícil el día a día, pero sí hay apoyo disponible. En YRC ayudamos a las personas con temas de salud mental a conectarse con atención médica o los servicios que puedan necesitar.

Nadie debería pasar por momentos difíciles solo/a. 🫶
