RED RIBBON WEEK - OCT 23rd-31st The week of October 23rd through October 31st is a week focused on parents' involvement in drug prevention throughout the United States. This year's theme is "Respect Yourself. Be Drug Free" for National Red Ribbon Week.   Red Ribbon Week is sponsored by the National Family Partnership (NFP), a nonprofit organization created by parents dedicated to drug prevention and advocacy. The NFP is partnered with hundreds of groups and organizations across the country. They provide awareness, advocacy and resources to parents who want to keep the conversation about drug use open with their children.   Only 25 percent of parents talk to their children about drug use. These children are then over 40 percent less likely to experiment with drugs. So why aren't more parents having conversations with their children on this topic? The NFP and Red Ribbon Week hope to bring more awareness to the topic so more parents discuss dangerous drug use with their children.   To get involved in the Red Ribbon Campaign, you are encouraged to wear a red ribbon on your clothing throughout the week, participate in local community events focused on this topic or create an open dialogue with your own children. Click here to learn more about the Red Ribbon Campaign, or to sign the pledge.   What's the pledge about? As parents and citizens, we will talk to our children and the children in our lives about the dangers of drug abuse. We will set clear rules for our children about not using drugs. We will set a good example for our children by not using illegal drugs or medicine without a prescription. We will monitor our children's behavior and enforce appropriate consequences, so that our rules are respected. We will encourage family and friends to follow the same guidelines to keep children safe from substance abuse. For tips and resources to help you talk with your youth, please contact The Council's Prevention Program: (215) 230-8218 extension 5.      Supporting Youth Recovery  Enhanced Certified Recovery Specialists (CRS) Certificate Program Are you a young person in recovery who is looking to enter the behavioral health workforce to support other young people and their families?

Happy  Thanksgiving  A Word From Ed    In a letter to his friend Timothy, the Apostle Paul summarizes his journey from sinner to Christian servant. Once an ignorant and unbelieving man, Paul received abundant mercy and patience from the Lord, and fulfilled the calling to be a leader in the early church community.     This is the same journey our graduates have traveled. In this issue, Corey Michaud shares his journey from brokenness to Christ's intervention to his healing and calling.     It is a blessing to be part of these transformations and to know that many of our graduates will leave to minister to others in need.    We are also blessed when our graduates return to His Mansion and join the team of Servant Leaders, just as Corey has done. It is amazing to see the "workers for the harvest" grow. Blessings, Ed Perrine  CEO Click Here for Your November Newsletter  Christmas on The Hill!    Believe it or not, the Thanksgiving and  Christmas seasons are nearly upon us. For most of the young men and women here, this festive season is remembered only as a time of loneliness, despair and addiction. Will you help create new memories in their lives?      Even now, our staff is beginning to make preparations to continue the process of healing past heartaches and create new meaning and memories for these young men and women.       One tradition that we enjoy every year is giving gifts to our Residents and Servant Leaders on Christmas morning as a reflection of the gift that the Father has given us in Jesus Christ.       This is a wonderful opportunity for you to be part of that Christmas morning tradition!     One of the easiest ways to join this restorative processes is by giving an additional gift of $50,$25 or $100 dollars that will be used to bless those who currently call His Mansion home.   Click Here to Give  Come join what God is doing in our Community!  Do you have a heart for serving the "least of these"?  Consider fulfilling that call  here on the Hill.

	On Sunday, October 4, we joined 25,000 individuals and advocacy organizations for the UNITE to Face Addiction Rally on the National Mall in Washington D.C. It was a powerful, historic gathering that brought together people, communities and organizations to face addiction and stand up for recovery. Watch our video capturing the spirit of the UNITE to Face Addiction event! Through this first-of-its-kind event, we were able to collect signatures in support of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, (S.524/H.R.953)legislation that would increase addiction prevention, treatment and recovery services. We also asked members of the crowd to share their personal stories and took photos of their written responses, as part of our #howmanyfamiliesphoto campaign. Thank you for your ongoing support and stay tuned for more updates from the Partnership’s advocacy team. Together, we are working to end addiction in America.

Genetic Variations Influence Risk of Methadone Overdose, Study Suggests - Partnership for Drug-Free Kids

Genetic Variations Influence Risk of Methadone Overdose, Study Suggests - Partnership for Drug-Free Kids

October 28 CHP 119 v 107 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

I am afflicted very much ; Revive me ,O lord , according to your word .(GODS BIG BIG BOOK)

STEP 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity(AA / NA BIG BOOK)

Revive - regain life, consciousness, or strength.

Powerless , unconscious and deader than a door nail is where I was left fifteen years ago. Then I followed the steps and picked up a copy of Gods big book. Gods big book not only revived me through the words It gave me liberty . God did not want me to live alone , addicted , and unloved . Through His word not only did He provide me with the strength to get sober but to stay there and it also taught me how to clean house and shake off all unnecessary baggage .I live life now sober , unburdened , free and restored full of peace and joy.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

(GODS BIG BOOK)By Joseph Dickerson
