“Weekly support meetings - held in multiple counties in ohio and north carolina. Support meetings for anyone touched by addiction with the goal of educating, empowering and embracing all individuals through relevant speakers, open discussion and educational videos. Average attendance at our weekly meeting was approaching 75 family members, those in recovery and those struggling with active addiction. In 2022 that number also included 200 new families that found our organization for the first time. Our attendance continued to recover from covid in 2022 but we are still down from previous years.”

“One-on-one phone support - warm line for anyone touched by addiction. Support, guidance, system navigation and referrals given. In 2022 our warm line supported over 300 people via telephone, email and text providing guidance and resources. That's more than 1 a day but when you include the family members that are also helped by the support the "1" person reaching out receives, the actual number of people supported is far greater than 300. Further, we are constantly receiving testomonials from those whose lives were changed by that "1" phone call.”

“Rally - to unite the people and resources of the miami valley to : - eliminate the stigma associated with addiction and mental health disorders. We had over 2,500 people attending our 9th annual 2022 rally. - educate about addiction and mental health disorders. There was 65 booths staffed from local addiction treatment resources at our 2022 rally. - celebrate and show that recovery is possible and that it works. We had a "recovery countdown" that celebrated individuals that had over 30 years of recovery down to individuals that had as little as 1 day of recovery. It was truly a celebration of all who had taken that step. Our rally is annualy the largest one of its kind in the state of ohio. In 2022 we were able to duplicate our dayton rally with a well attended rally in van wert ohio.”
