SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL RECOVERY MONTH 💜

Recovery Month is a time to celebrate the strength of people in recovery, the importance of hope and healing, and the communities that make recovery possible.

There is a lot happening at OTRTW this September.

📅 Our group calendars have been reorganized around new daily themes:

Monday - Direction & Recovery
Tuesday - Coping & Perspective
Wednesday - Emotions & Connection
Thursday - Identity & Self-Understanding
Friday - Grounding & Moving Forward

💬 You will also see new and updated groups including Goals Into Action, Substance Use & Recovery, Finding My Purpose, Self-Awareness & Advocacy, Navigating Life Transitions, Mind Traps, Self-Acceptance, Protecting Your Energy, Board Games & Connection, and more.

🌿 Our Holistic Wellness Program at our Derry Walk-In Center is also moving to a walk-in model, allowing you to drop in during wellness hours and choose from available offerings.

✨ On September 25, join us at our Manchester Walk-In Center for Recovery Reset: Well & Worthy, a free National Recovery Month self-care day featuring somatic movement, reiki, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, hand massages, 5NP ear acupuncture, and more. Thank you to Sacred Moon Healing Center for helping make this event possible.

🤝 September also brings Mind, Body, Spirit, Recovery with Revive Recovery, our monthly Community Meeting, Healthy Relationships with REACH Crisis Services, a presentation of services with Charlie Health, Accessing Resources with Manchester Resource Center, and a Magic Show with Jim Leach.

💚 We are incredibly grateful to Bangor Savings Bank for a $5,000 award supporting the continued development of our Holistic Wellness Program, and to Saint Anselm Dining Services, and Crown Catering for recent in-kind support.

💚 We are also excited about growing community connections with Nourish your Soul, Hometown Roots, and terminusunderground.

This Recovery Month, keep going.

There is more road ahead.
Recovery is real.
Hope is here.

What a beautiful evening 💜

On International Overdose Awareness Day, we gathered in Derry to honor the lives we have lost, stand beside the people and families who carry those losses every day, celebrate recovery, and remind one another that every life has value.

As we step into National Recovery Month, On the Road to Wellness stands in solidarity with people in recovery, people who use drugs, their families, loved ones, and every person working to create communities rooted in compassion rather than stigma.

A huge shoutout to the South Central NH Public Health Network and SoRock Coalition for Healthy Youth for being such incredible leaders in bringing this event to life. The thought, coordination, partnership, and heart behind this evening were evident everywhere. We are grateful to stand alongside you. 💜

International Overdose Awareness Day at MacGregor Park.

The weather is perfect. The cause is worthy. The event will be emotional and heart felt. Please come out to remember and support those:
Who we lost too soon
Those who were left behind
Those who have survived
Those who have recovered

Help make our community stronger.
The JRFM is here in support

Our Executive Director, Ariana Moniz, joined Matt Connarton on WMNH 95.3’s Matt Connarton Unleashed to share a message that should extend far beyond August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day:

Choose love.

Choose to see the humanity in the people around you—including people who use drugs (PWUD).

People deserve dignity, connection, and community without having to first prove that they are worthy of it.

Today, we remember those we have lost to overdose, hold close the people who love and miss them, and stand alongside those who are still here.

On International Overdose Awareness Day, and every day, choose to love people where they are. 💜

Mental Health Monday | International Overdose Awareness Day 💜

Today, we remember the people behind the statistics. Our loved ones whose lives mattered.

If you feel comfortable, drop the name of someone you’ve lost to overdose or addiction in the comments. Tell us their name, share their birthday, a favorite memory, or simply leave a 💜 in their honor.

Let’s fill this space with names, love, and memories — because they deserve to be remembered.

You are not alone in your grief.
You are not alone in recovery.
And you are not alone. 💜
