Keep the energy and inspiration of Recovery Month going

“Recovery isn’t just possible - it’s probable.”

These are the words of Caron’s President/CEO Brad Sorte, which so perfectly encompass the energy and inspiration we feel as Recovery Month has come to a close.

So many of you showed up virtually and in person this past month, in big ways and small, to keep driving that message forward. We’re breaking down barriers and eliminating stigma, all while raising each other up and nurturing our own recovery every single day.

Whether you are a person in recovery or the life of someone you love is impacted by substance use disorder, we are all a part of this Recovery movement. We are forever linked together in the challenges we face and the triumphs we celebrate as a community.

As we continue to trudge the road of happy destiny, know that your alumni coordinators and I are here for you every step of the way. To that end, I am pleased to introduce our newest edition to our team, Rocky Stallone. Born and raised in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Rocky has years of experience in recovery and is thrilled to serve those in the Berks, Lehigh, and Lancaster County, PA region.

Remember, addiction is a disease of isolation. Your ongoing recovery depends on how you care for yourself, your continued connection to your community, and your service to others.

I hope this month’s message provides helpful tools in all these areas and that the spirit of Recovery Month stays with you through every month of the year.

With Gratitude,

Aly Ries
Corporate Director of Alumni Relations

Recovery for Life Blog:
Empowering Parents to Take Charge of Their Mental Health

By: Dr. Maggie Tipton, Sr. Director of Psychological Services and Corporate Coordinator for Trauma-Informed Care

“Parents Are Not Okay,” said the headline in a recent article in the Atlantic magazine. “We’re not even at a breaking point anymore,” said the subhead. “We’re broken.” As a parent, the story resonated with me, as it probably does with you. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, we started with two weeks to slow the curve, then it was two months. Now we are approaching two years. The pandemic has been a chronic source of stress for so long that it’s wearing on all of us. We’re all tired.

Maybe it’s not enough to lead to a definitive mental health diagnosis, but parenting in the current environment is really taking a toll on our overall mental health...
