Release Recovery

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting our 13th Women’s Luncheon, where the conversation was led by Brittany Beispel, LCSW focused on female empowerment in the field—how women can lift up and support one another, while also prioritizing self-care. It was truly inspiring to see such meaningful exchanges as attendees shared their experiences and insights on building strong networks and nurturing their own well-being. A heartfelt thank you to our talented executive chef, Nichole Daniello, for providing a delicious and nourishing meal that enhanced the afternoon’s powerful conversations. If you’d like to join us for the next luncheon, please reach out to Scott Apgar [email protected]. We’d love to have you with us!

Recovery is not about what you give, but what you gain. Thank you, Fox 5 (WNYW-TV New York), for having our CEO and Founder, Zac C., on the show. At one point, when Antwan Lewis realized Zac was being vulnerable, he leaned in closer—and that is what our work is all about: real, authentic connection. Zac talks about our approach to recovery from substance use and mental health disorders. Zac also discusses our recent acquisition of MANUAL and how it will help expand our reach to college campuses. https://lnkd.in/efpjk3DT
