One of the highlights of the ARE, Inc. 25th Anniversary Celebration was recognizing the incredible people who make our mission possible. During the event, we surprised consumers, staff, and community partners with special awards honoring their dedication, support, and impact.

The reactions were priceless! Many recipients were completely caught off guard, making the moment even more meaningful. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the individuals and organizations who help create a stronger, more connected recovery community every day.

Congratulations to all of our award recipients, and thank you for being such an important part of the ARE, Inc. family!

Week 3 of Mental Health Month is focused on 💚 CONNECTION 💚

Connection reminds us that we are not alone.
Whether it’s a conversation with a friend, time spent with family, reaching out for support, or simply checking in on someone—those connections matter.

We all need support, understanding, and belonging. Even small moments of connection can make a big difference in someone’s day.

This week, take a moment to:
✨ Reach out
✨ Check in
✨ Spend time together
✨ Let someone know they matter

You are not alone. We’re stronger together 💜

As we wrap up 💚 Self Care Week 💚 during Mental Health Month, we want to hear from YOU!

Everyone has something that helps them get through the tough days—whether it’s listening to music, journaling, talking to someone you trust, taking a walk, or simply taking a moment to breathe.

Self care looks different for everyone, and that’s okay ✨
