A special shout-out to our alum, Diane, who shared her story at today's Hoover Institution Mental Health Symposium hosted by Judge Michael Wendler! She spoke from the heart and shared what programs helped her recovery journey, including in-custody services from the Service League and San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, residential treatment at Hope House, and our transitional housing program. But most importantly, Diane believed in herself. We are so proud of her advocacy!

Today our Religious Services Coordinator, Jeremy, and Transitional Housing Case Manager, Sydney, proudly represented the Service League at the Annual Reentry Conference hosted by the Archdiocese of San Francisco Restorative Justice Ministry. We are grateful for our community partners, faith leaders, and the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office who share our commitment to providing meaningful spiritual support and services to incarcerated individuals and those who are re-entering the community. Thank you, Jeremy and Sydney, for representing our organization and the important work we do!

Recovery is possible! Each year the Hope House celebrates Recovery Month in September to connect with our community and encourage anyone who is struggling. On September 15th we attended the Voices of Recovery, San Mateo County Recovery Breakfast, the Philomena Walk of Hope to honor the legacy and strength of Philomena Anderson-Ashford, and the resource fair to provide information and support.
