Cornerstone Montgomery

Cornerstone Montgomery We empower people living with mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders to live, work, and integrate successfully within the community.

Above all, we value respect for the people we serve. We stand beside the people we serve as allies in pursuit of their personal goals and as bearers of hope. In order to be effective allies, we value evidence-based services. We value a work environment of mutual trust and respect.

As part of our National Wellness Month Staff Spotlight series, we're continuing to explore the different ways members of the Cornerstone team prioritize their well-being.

This week, meet Andrew Lermond, a Life Skills Counselor with our Foundations Program. For Andrew, staying balanced means making time to disconnect from the demands of the day and reconnect with the things that bring him peace. Spending time outdoors, working on his farm, reading, and getting active in nature all give him opportunities to recharge and reset.

Andrew's perspective is a great reminder that wellness doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes, stepping outside, spending time doing something meaningful, or simply giving yourself space to recharge can make all the difference.

A look back at last month's Cornerstone Connections

In July, President & CEO Cari Guthrie reflected on the people, moments, and progress that continue to make Cornerstone's work so meaningful. From clients taking steps toward greater independence to staff showing up with compassion and dedication, these stories remind us why we are here: to walk alongside people during vulnerable moments and help create opportunities for healing, growth, and hope.

Cari also shares an honest look at the challenges facing Cornerstone and why the support of our community is more important than ever.

Watch Cari's Corner to hear her reflections and learn why your support helps us continue to be Bearers of Hope.

As part of National Wellness Month, we're continuing our Staff Spotlight series by asking members of the Cornerstone team what wellness means to them.

This week, meet Charlie Morgan, a Rehabilitation Counselor with our ITCOD Team. Charlie shared a thoughtful perspective on wellness, including the importance of advocating for yourself, building healthy habits, and finding ways to stay connected to your community.

For Charlie, staying well also means making time for movement, maintaining relationships, and giving back. His perspective is a great reminder that wellness isn't always about doing something for yourself. Sometimes, connecting with and supporting others can be an important part of our own well-being, too.

We have two more staff interviews and a client interview coming up, so stay tuned as we continue sharing different perspectives on what wellness looks like at Cornerstone.

What is one habit that helps you stay connected, balanced, or well?

Last month in Cornerstone Connections, we shared Stephen's story.

After nearly 40 years of friendship, Margi O. reflects on Stephen's journey through mental health challenges, greater independence, setbacks, and the pursuit of his dream of becoming a published author. His story is a reminder that recovery isn't a straight line. It's about continuing to move forward with hope, purpose, and the support of people who believe in you.

Stephen is just one of the many voices and stories we share through Cornerstone Connections, our free monthly newsletter.

Wellness doesn't look the same for everyone, and that's okay.

For some, wellness might mean moving your body, cooking a nourishing meal, or getting a good night's sleep. For others, it might mean going to therapy, taking medication, journaling, spending time with loved ones, or simply asking for help when you need it.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to taking care of your well-being. What matters is finding what works for you and taking steps that support your mental, emotional, physical, and social health.

At Cornerstone, we believe every person deserves the support to find their own path toward wellness.

Behind every recovery journey is a story of resilience, growth, and hope.

When Ruth first came to Cornerstone, maintaining a routine and managing daily responsibilities felt overwhelming. Through Cornerstone's Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program and Foundations Day Program, she found the support, structure, and community that helped her regain confidence and take meaningful steps toward greater independence.

Today, Ruth is managing her schedule, building friendships, and creating a future rooted in purpose. Her story reminds us that recovery isn't about perfection. It's about progress, perseverance, and having people who believe in you along the way.

Read Ruth's inspiring story and see how compassionate, person-centered care can help transform lives.

As part of National Wellness Month, we're highlighting the people who make Cornerstone such a special place to work and serve.

This week, meet Quincy Inman, our Development Officer. Quincy shared how taking a purposeful pause before responding to stressful situations helps him approach challenges with intention rather than reaction. He also reflected on the importance of staying connected to his "why" during life's transitions and making time for a self-care routine that allows him to disconnect, recharge, and refocus.

Wellness looks different for everyone, and sometimes the most meaningful habits are the ones that create space to slow down and be present.

What's one wellness habit that helps you stay grounded when life gets busy?

We'd love to hear your answer in the comments.
