International Overdose Awareness Day

Today, we remember the lives lost to overdose and stand alongside the families, friends, and communities carrying that loss.

We also recognize those who are still struggling and those working toward recovery. Overdose is preventable, and access to support, education, and compassionate care can save lives.

Let’s use today to remember, reduce stigma, educate our communities, and remind people that help is available.

What a great day at Learn4Life Community Resource Fair. Where organizations from across our community have come together with one purpose-to support students, families, and individuals with real resources that can make a difference.
At The Happier Life Project, we believe recovery, wellness, and hope begin with connection. Every conversation, every resource, and every partnership creates another opportunity for someone to find the support they need.
We’re honored to be here alongside so many incredible organizations working together to strengthen our community.
Because no one should have to do life alone, and together, we can change lives—one connection at a time. IEHP Molina Healthcare Vista Community Clinic (VCC) Prospero Riverside Legal Aid BrightLife Kids Supervisor Karen Spiegel

Still reflecting on an incredible experience in Washington, D.C.

I had the honor of serving as a panelist during “From Incarceration to Reintegration: Faith’s Role in Recovery and Reentry” at Called to Care: Strengthening Faith and Behavioral Health.

What gives me hope is seeing people from different backgrounds come together with one shared purpose, to create better pathways for healing, recovery, and second chances.

Every day I witness the power of lived experience, peer support, and community. When we choose connection over judgment and compassion over stigma, lives change.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent The Happier Life Project and the communities we serve, while learning alongside so many dedicated leaders from across the country.

This is the work that reminds me why we keep showing up.

💙 Recovery is possible.
💙 Reintegration is possible.
💙 Healing is possible.

We were honored to partner with RCOE, Olive Crest, and DPSS to support foster youth in preparing for what comes next 🎓

This session focused on postsecondary and workforce readiness, helping students take real, practical steps toward their future. Throughout the entire process, we worked closely with students by providing peer support, guidance, and consistent connection to help them feel supported and prepared for their next steps.

We also had the opportunity to hear from incredible speakers, including Dwayne Wallace, author and former NFL player, and Dr. Charles Lee Johnson, CEO of the National Family Life and Education Center, who shared powerful insights and encouragement with the students.

We spent the day celebrating them with food, games, speeches, and so much more, and we were so happy to be part of it.

To celebrate the graduating students, we prepared 50 backpacks filled with school supplies, headphones, hygiene items, and much more. We’re so grateful to have worked with so many amazing students and to be part of their journey. 💜

The Commission and more than 50 behavioral health organizations across California are urging state leaders to reject the proposal to use over 30% of Proposition 1’s Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) funds to backfill General Fund obligations.

This proposal:

❌ Conflicts with voter intent.
❌ Deepens already-reduced prevention funding.
❌ Appears inconsistent with the BHSA’s non-supplantation language.
❌ Undermines BHSA’s workforce commitments for priority populations.
❌ Uses BHSA funds to pay for existing state obligations.
❌ Includes proposed offsets that are a stretch under the BHSA.

We urge the Legislature to reject the General Fund offset and set clear guardrails to ensure BHSA funds stay focused on expanding services, strengthening prevention, and supporting Californians with the highest behavioral health needs.
