Our youth advisory board is running the Aspire table at Recovery Fest STL this year.

They'll have hearts from the You Are Loved campaign, information about Aspire's work, and candy.

These are young people who advise us on how Missouri's behavioral health system should serve their generation. They shaped what's on this table. Stop by and talk with them.

Sunday, September 27, noon to 6pm, Lions Amphitheater in Kirkwood Park. Free, all ages, sober.

Three digits. That's it.

988 connects you to trained crisis counselors, 24 hours a day, anywhere in Missouri. Call, text, or chat.

You don't need to be in the worst moment of your life to use it. Today is a good day to save it in your phone, before you need it.

You can call 988 about someone else. If you're worried about your friend, your brother, someone you care about and you don't know what to say or what to do next, you can call and talk it through with someone trained for exactly that conversation.

Worrying alone is not a plan. 988, any hour.

988 is not only for su***de. It's for the panic that won't let up. For substance use. For the day something breaks and you don't know who to tell. For grief. For a parent who is scared for their kid and out of ideas.

If you're not sure your situation counts, it counts. Call or text 988.

We handed the table over.

At Recovery Fest STL on September 27, Aspire's youth advisory board is taking the lead. They'll have hearts from the You Are Loved campaign, info about what we do, and candy.

Adults do most of the talking about what young people need. Our board exists so that isn't the only voice in the room, and this table is theirs to run.

Come by, take a heart, ask them what they'd change.

Noon to 6pm, Lions Amphitheater in Kirkwood Park. Free and open to everyone.

Adults do most of the talking about what young people need.

Our youth advisory board exists so that isn't the only voice in the room. Last week they built their fall agenda, planned the Aspire table at Recovery Fest STL, and decided how they want to mark National Recovery Month.

We're adding members this year. You don't need a particular background or story. You need to care how young people in this region get treated.

Recovery Month starts today, and so does something we've been waiting three years to bring back.

TEE UP for Recovery returns Sunday, November 15, at Topgolf St. Louis - Chesterfield, 4 to 7pm. Time in the bays, food you didn't have to cook, and a silent auction that will talk you into bidding more than you planned. You do not have to be good at golf to win.

The evening exists to celebrate young people in recovery out loud and in public, which is not something this region does often enough. They attend free. And what the night raises goes to Aspire's work changing a behavioral health system that should have served them better in the first place.

We'll be sharing more all month about what recovery looks like for young people in this region. This is where it's headed.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, and we're thinking about the Missourians we've lost and the families who carry that every day, not just today.

Drug overdose is the leading cause of death for Missouri adults ages 18 to 44 (MO DHSS). Nine out of ten Americans who meet the medical criteria for addiction started using substances before age 18.

The loss shows up in adulthood, but the opening almost always came years earlier, when a young person needed someone to notice.

Learn the signs. Carry naloxone. Stay close to your people.
