For many decades, the pathway to recovery from addiction was clear — abstinence. And for many people, abstinence has worked, bringing health and clarity, and helping them regain autonomy over their lives. But every individual helped by abstinence is an individual who has ‘failed’ at abstinence and has been left with no path forward toward positive change. Join Freedom Institute, Silver Hill Hospital, and the Silver Hill Academy for Research and Education for this upcoming training including lectures, role-plays, case examples, and discussions. Intended for mental health and substance use professionals and harm reduction counselors, case managers, outreach workers, and peer support specialists. Learn more and register now >>

Substance use is often hard on the family. Everyone struggles, family bonds erode, there's oftentimes a loss of trust, and there can be frustrations due to failed attempts by a loved one to successfully address their substance use issues. But families are critical to success. As someone once said,” If the family were a boat, it would be a canoe, making progress only if everyone paddles.” On July 25, Freedom Institute is launching a Family Support Group for family members to connect over their experiences as loved ones of those struggling with substance use issues.

Yesterday was our ninth women’s luncheon led by Audrey Freshman, PhD, LCSW, CASAC who discussed her personal zest for social work, and how it takes a village to heal. Her integrated approach to psychiatry inspired others to open up about their own journeys, and why they were called to help others. A huge thanks to our executive chef Nichole Daniello who provided an exquisite lunch and Dawn Marie Gallagher for her generosity and hospitality.
