Our National Outreach Manager Kristin Calderon, MBA recently headed to Connecticut for an exclusive professional development event hosted by the team at Turnbridge, and she came back with some incredible takeaways.

Between clinical deep dives into success metrics with Dr. Christopher Cutter and a tour of their stunning 125-acre sanctuary in Killingworth, the experience was a powerful reminder of our shared mission. As Kristin noted, this work is about more than just "treatment". It’s about fostering the right environments for lasting, real healing.

Thank you to the entire team at Turnbridge!

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the values he championed: compassion, equity, and service to others.

At Trivium Life Services, Dr. King’s vision reminds us that caring for one another and building inclusive communities is both a responsibility and a shared commitment. We strive to create spaces where every person feels seen, supported, and respected.

As we reflect today, may we continue to lead with empathy, listen with intention, and work together toward a more just and hopeful future for all.

❄️ At Averte’s Main House campus, a quiet winter moment stood out, snowy, bare footprints crossing the ground.
These simple impressions are a reminder that self-care doesn’t always look polished or planned. Sometimes, especially here in snowy Vermont, self-care looks like stepping outside, slowing down, and allowing space to pause and be present.

In these small, grounding moments, individuals can reconnect with themselves and their surroundings. At Averte, these everyday experiences are recognized as meaningful parts of the journey toward balance, healing, and growth, one step at a time. 💙
