It’s officially the first day of National Recovery Month, and all the cool kids are turning their lights purple! If you haven’t swung by our office yet to grab your purple light bulb, what are you waiting for? We’re open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free porch lights for residents and curtain lights for businesses. Join the movement, show off your purple glow, and let’s show everyone in recovery that our entire community has their back! 💜✨

Our JCDPC/PAST Recovery Services team recently spent an all-staff day at Kings Island this weekend! A day intentionally set aside to have fun, recharge, build relationships, and connect with coworkers outside of our normal work environment.

Our staff supports youth, individuals in recovery, families, and communities across East Central Indiana every day. That work can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be demanding. Creating opportunities for our team to step away from the day-to-day responsibilities and simply enjoy time together is an important part of building a healthy, connected, and resilient organization.

There were plenty of roller coasters, laughs, good food, conversations, and memories made. And maybe a few people who discovered which coworkers they should never sit beside on a roller coaster! 😂

We are incredibly grateful to IYI for recognizing that supporting those who serve others matters. Investments in staff well-being, connection, and belonging ultimately strengthen the work we can do in our communities.

Thank you, IYI, for helping us invest in our people, not just our programs. 💙

In honor of International Overdose Awareness Day, we wanted to share a few moments from our memorial event this past Friday. 💜

Gathering together allowed us to hold space for one another in a truly meaningful way. We shared the heavy grief we carry, held tightly to precious memories, and found the courage to tell the stories that are often the hardest to speak aloud.

To every soul lost far too soon: your light will never be forgotten, and your memory remains deeply woven into the hearts of everyone left behind. You were, and always will be, loved beyond measure.

💙 COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Brighter Than the Silence

This week, Jeana connected with Stephanie Patterson to share information about Encompass and learn more about her work with the Jay County Drug Prevention Coalition.

Stephanie is helping bring Brighter Than the Silence back to Portland for its second year—an evening dedicated to grief recognition, remembering lives lost, and raising awareness about su***de.

📅 August 28 at 6 PM
📍 Hudson Family Park, Portland

We’re grateful for people in our community who are willing to create space for remembrance, connection, and conversations that matter.

💙 Find Your Way.

We are almost one week away from our 2nd Annual Brighter than the Silence Overdose Awareness event, and we are inviting everyone to join us next Friday night at Hudson Park, in Portland, to spend the evening remembering and honoring loved ones who lost their fight to overdose. It is going to be a heartfelt night full of memory, hope, and love for those who have gone too soon. Throughout the evening, we will be releasing lanterns in memory of our loved ones, hosting guest speakers, and welcoming HMS Custom Designs & Creations, who will be on-site selling overdose awareness shirts. If you would like to submit a photo of a loved one or submit a blurb to be a speaker, please send them to [email protected] by the end of the day tomorrow. Please bring your family and friends for a special night of reflection and togetherness as we come to hold space, share stories, and shine a light in the dark. We hope to see you all there!
