First, I have to thank God. I see His hand in the doors that continue to open, the people He continues to place in my path, and the opportunity He has given me to do work that means so much to me.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend DDAP’s Recovery Month event, and I can honestly say it touched me more than I expected.

When I first got there, I actually cried.

I had to take a moment and process everything I was feeling. Looking around and seeing so many people in one place who have dedicated themselves to recovery and helping others was emotional for me. People from different organizations, different counties, different backgrounds—all coming together because they care about people and recovery.

As I went around and spoke with people, I could feel their sincerity. I could see the empathy and passion they have for the work they do. I met so many individuals who genuinely want to make a difference, and being surrounded by that kind of energy meant a lot to me because I understand that passion. I carry it with me every day in the work that I do.

I didn’t go there just to network. I went there to listen and learn. I came home with new relationships, more knowledge, and more resources that I can now share with the people I have the honor of coming across. To me, that is what these connections are really about. If something I learned yesterday helps me open one more door for somebody tomorrow, that matters.

I’m truly grateful for the work DDAP is doing throughout Pennsylvania and for the impact they continue to have in the recovery community. I am honored that ProSolve Global Solutions Recovery Houses is a DDAP-licensed recovery house provider and that I also had the opportunity to represent The Productive Offenders of Society Foundation and our work in recovery and reentry.

And then there’s this photo. That’s me reaching across the DDAP table and shaking hands with a colleague. I didn’t even know that moment was being captured. But when I saw it, it meant something to me because that simple moment represents so much of what yesterday was about—connection.

I thank God for this program, for the people in it, for the people in recovery and reentry, and for every person He continues to put in my path.

This work is personal to me. It comes from a very real place in my heart. I genuinely love what I do, I love helping people, and yesterday reminded me just how many of us are out here doing this work together, and it deeply touched my heart. It was very impactful to be united for the same cause 💜

September is Recovery Month.

Recovery looks different for everyone. Sometimes it’s starting over. Sometimes it’s simply choosing not to give up today.

POOSF is proud to stand behind the work of ProSolve and the people doing the hard work every day.

988 Day is a reminder that every feeling is valid 💛

When things feel overwhelming, it can be hard to imagine a way forward. But feelings are not permanent, and you are allowed to pause, ask for support, and change your mind about what comes next.

The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline provides free, confidential support for anyone experiencing a mental health crisis or emotional distress.

If you or someone you know is struggling, remember: support is available. You don’t have to navigate difficult moments alone.

Call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

No wrong door. That's the goal of Pennsylvania's coordinated behavioral health crisis response system.

This 988 Day, we're raising awareness that help is only a call, text, or chat away. Whether someone is experiencing a mental health crisis, feeling overwhelmed, or needs help finding substance use treatment, the crisis response system is designed to connect them with the right support.

If substance use treatment is identified as part of a caller's needs, 988 counselors can connect them directly to our Get Help Now Helpline (1-800-662-HELP/4357) for treatment and recovery resources.

As part of the Shapiro Administration's commitment to strengthening behavioral health services, Pennsylvania's 2026–27 budget includes the first-ever dedicated state funding for 988—supporting trained crisis counselors and reliable, 24/7 crisis support.

Yesterday I had the chance to celebrate Paula as she begins a new chapter, and it made me reflect on how much her presence in my life has meant to me.

Paula, you have given me something I deeply value—your time. You’ve sat with me, listened, answered my questions, shared your experience, and taught me without ever trying to change my own voice or vision.

Our relationship has also grown through the work POOSF and ProSolve do alongside the Preventive Measures Foundation, and I’ve seen the difference that work makes for the people we serve.

I truly believe God allows certain paths to cross with purpose. I’m grateful ours did.

Congratulations, Paula. I hope this next chapter brings you the same care, kindness, and goodness you have so freely given to others—and to me. ❤️

With Love and Gratitude,
