RHD Honors Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Today, RHD recognizes Indigenous Peoples’ Day and honors the histories, cultures, resilience, and ongoing contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day invites us to learn from this history, recognize the distinct identities and experiences of Indigenous nations, and honor the strength and leadership of Indigenous peoples today.

As an organization, we encourage everyone to take time to learn, reflect, and celebrate Indigenous voices and experiences while continuing to foster respect, inclusion, and belonging across our community.

Earlier this month, we celebrated our amazing Direct Support Professionals whose skill, compassion, and commitment make a meaningful difference every day. Thank you to all DSPs for the exceptional support you provide and the positive impact you have on the lives of the people and communities we serve. We appreciate you—not only during DSP Week, but throughout the year.

Below is a look back at some of the photos submitted during DSP Week, capturing the many ways our teams celebrated and recognized our amazing DSPs.

Sharice Warthen is an exceptional coworker, leader, and an important part of RHD’s Womanspace Empower program. She consistently ensures that both employees and clients feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued. From the moment someone enters the program, whether they are a new employee, current staff member, client, or family member, Sharice has a way of making them feel comfortable and like they belong.

As a Life Skills Professional, Sharice brings genuine care to her work every day, helping individuals in recovery develop coping skills, daily living skills, and recovery supports. She is always willing to step in, offer guidance, answer questions, and aid whenever needed. Leading by example, she demonstrates patience, professionalism, compassion, and dependability. Beyond her own responsibilities, she remains attentive to the needs of the entire program and the people around her.

Sharice’s dedication has had a meaningful impact on Womanspace Empower, helping to create a supportive and healing environment. As one of Philadelphia’s only female residential treatment programs for dually diagnosed, chronically homeless women, the program benefits greatly from her contributions. Through her presence and kind spirit, Sharice makes a difference in the lives of both employees and residents every day.

Thank you, Sharice, for your hard work, commitment, leadership, and positive influence.

This month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and hope that is found in recovery.

At RHD, we recognize that recovery looks different for everyone. It is a journey shaped by courage, community, connection, and access to compassionate support.

During National Recovery Month, and every month, we honor every person on their path of recovery and the families, peers, providers, and communities who walk alongside them.

Together, we can reduce stigma, expand access to care, and remind one another that recovery is possible.

RHD provides continuous support to more than 250 individuals through a methadone clinic and residential treatment programs in the Philadelphia area. We also assist over 2,000 individuals annually through our outpatient counseling program called Rise Above.
