We have a deep appreciation for the Clubhouse members who help us create a warm, healing, and welcoming place for the recovery community and the newcomer! It’s not staff who run the clubhouse, it’s our members! Whether it’s helping to run the cafe, stock and sort items for the clothing boutique, organize a social activity, or clean the facilities. Each member helps by contributing their skills, talents, and time to this peer collective. ☮️

This week we’re celebrating Kathy for her leadership and service to other members. Thank you for all your contributions to the Foundation, Kathy! 🎉

⚠️ Medicaid rulemaking is underway, and the outcomes could have lasting effects on people seeking recovery.

Current proposals could:

❌ Make it harder for some people with SUDs to qualify for work requirement exemptions
