Recovery Happens Together:
Strengthening Our Berks County Community

September is National Recovery Month, a time to celebrate recovery, recognize the people who make recovery possible, and highlight the importance of strong, supportive communities.

Recovery doesn't happen in isolation. It happens through relationships, resources, opportunities, and connections. In Berks County, our community has an important role to play.

Awaken Mental Health and TASC are honored to support literacy, learning, and community engagement through a special Book Drive in honor of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

For decades, Dolly Parton has inspired people around the world not only through her music, but she has also touched countless lives through her generosity and unwavering commitment to helping others. For those of us who work in the social services/mental health field, we understand that growth and healing often begin with access to resources, encouragement, and the belief that a brighter future is possible. Dolly Parton’s work reflects a deep belief in the power of hope, opportunity, and human connection, values that align closely with the missions of all in the human services field.

Through the Imagination Library, Dolly Parton has helped provide millions of free books to children, fostering a love of reading and creating opportunities for lifelong learning. Her generosity, compassion, and belief that every child deserves access to books reflect the spirit of kindness and community that we hope to celebrate through this initiative.

Books provide more than education. They help children develop empathy, resilience, emotional awareness, and confidence while opening doors to new possibilities. We would be grateful for any support through contributions of new or gently used children's books. Together, we can help place books into the hands of children and families throughout our community-encouraging literacy, imagination, education, and success. This book drive is more than a collection effort. It is an opportunity to honor the legacy of a remarkable woman whose mission has always centered on uplifting others through knowledge, opportunity, and hope. We would be grateful for your support and participation in making this event a success. Please feel free to share/post accordingly.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to building a stronger, healthier, and more connected community. We look forward to your support in sharing the gift of reading and the message of hope that Dolly Parton has championed for so many years.

With Gratitude-
David W. Frey
Mental Health Case Management Program Director

As students head off to college, they will gain new independence and face new challenges. For some, this may include the pressure to drink or experiment with alcohol.

College should be about making memories, building friendships, and creating a future - not putting that future at risk. Underage drinking can lead to poor decisions, academic problems, legal consequences, and other serious risks.

We are so grateful for our Warm Hand Off Program at the Reading Hospital that continues to offer these services for our community!

“These programs are lifesavers.” 🚑➜❤️‍🩹

abc27 News takes a closer look at how the Shapiro Administration's Warm Handoff Program works through hospitals and treatment providers to connect overdose survivors directly from emergency departments to treatment and recovery support.

Since Governor Shapiro took office, nearly 68,000 Pennsylvanians have been connected to care through warm handoffs at hospitals across the Commonwealth.
