I don't get to graduate from recovery. No degree. No diploma. I'll just keep working toward the next medallion, one day at a time.
I share my reasons and a few raw memories in my latest blog post. Link to read is in the replies below!

As we step into a new year, we’re reflecting with gratitude on a year of progress at WellStone. In FY25, we served 14,596 clients, marked one year of WES Pediatrics, opened River Crossing, and began rolling out our Mobile Mental Health Van program. 🧡

Collaborating for connection.🚒Sometimes a lack of transportation is all that's standing between individuals and their well-being. Thank you, City of Huntsville, for prioritizing our community's mental health. 🩵cityblog.huntsvilleal.gov/ro…

I typically consider four or more Wordle attempts a fail. (Content w/three; thrilled with two.) But today's was different. Today's Wordle made me happy, even if BOT beat me w/three.

Yay, Minnesota!
Sidenote: I only saw two other people walking in the Huntsville, Alabama cold this weekend (7 degree windchill!). He was wearing a Vikings hat. (Of course he was!)

Love our veterans, and the services we can provide them through WellStone. Let's keep working to fill the gaps in everyone's care.
Thank you @yhn & @Grayson270 for publishing this important story. A huge thanks to the lawmakers who made the SGB expansion possible.

This is wonderful news for veterans struggling with PTSD.
WellStone is offering Alabama veterans and first responders a no-cost option for the stellate ganglion block, or SGB – an outpatient injection that targets a neck nerve cluster and has shown promise for easing hyperarousal and other post-traumatic stress symptoms.
The effort began in Cullman with local VFW leaders and state lawmakers and now operates through WellStone with follow-up visits to track outcomes.
The program began in Cullman in 2021 with local VFW leadership and support from area businesses and lawmakers, and it continues today with statewide availability through WellStone.
“The SGB is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure targeting the stellate ganglion nerve bundle in the neck,” Richard James Werschin, a service-connected disabled veteran and U.S. Army Retiree said.
“It helps reset the brain’s fight-or-flight response. The injection takes approximately one hour; they put you under general anesthesia, so it’s the best sleep of your life, and most side effects are minimal. Many veterans, like myself, experience almost immediate and lasting symptom relief, especially from hypervigilance,” he said.
Werschin added, “This program was made possible by Senator Garlan Gudger, Representative Randall Shedd, and the Cullman County VFW, and it is coordinated by two outstanding social workers and veterans coordinators through WellStone, who made the entire process seamless and respectful.”

Thank you, @GovernorKayIvey , for your tremendous commitment to mental health.
Mental health care is a top priority for my administration.
This morning, I was proud to join for the ribbon cutting of Wellstone’s Emergency Services Pediatric Unit in Huntsville.
I’m proud of our work to ensure that every child has access to the care they need. #alpolitics

"Courtesy is just love in the little things. It’s showing grace, because we understand there are hidden hurts everywhere. It’s showing respect for people by being kind, even in the smallest areas of our lives." Another gem from #DailyHope by @RickWarren

Rest in peace, @mandisaofficial . You touched our hearts when my girls and I met you in 2013. And now your story ended way too soon.
Here’s a look back at my Mandisa-inspired post. #mandisa
