🥊 Recovery Takes Strength—Inside and Outside the Ring! 🥊

Have you ever wondered what boxers do to build discipline, resilience, and confidence? Come out and experience it for yourself!

Join us for an exciting event where you’ll learn how the principles of boxing—perseverance, focus, accountability, and getting back up after being knocked down—can be powerful tools in your recovery journey.

Whether you’re in recovery, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for a positive outlet, this is a great opportunity to see how boxing can help build a stronger mind, body, and spirit.

Recovery isn’t about never falling—it’s about getting back up every time you do. Come see how boxing and recovery go hand in hand!

Governor JB Pritzker has proclaimed June Family Reunification Month in Illinois. Our vision at Illinois DCFS is for every child and youth to grow and thrive in a family, and we celebrate the strength and resilience of every family, community and advocate working to keep families together. Family Reunification Month is not just about reunification – it's about preventing separation and creating systems that support families from the start. Together, we can build a future where every family is supported, safe and whole.

Tomorrow, the conversations begin.

Over the next two days, professionals from across Illinois will come together to explore emerging research, prevention strategies, treatment innovations, recovery perspectives, and the real-world impact of problem gambling.

These conversations won't all provide immediate answers.

But they may introduce a new perspective, spark a new idea, or challenge the way we think about our work.

Because every perspective tells part of the story.

We're looking forward to learning, connecting, and continuing the conversation together.
