At Black Pines, we don’t believe in fluff. We believe in real life—jobs, bills, roommates, and accountability. Our program is designed for young men who are ready to grow, not coast.

Each day is built around purpose. Whether it’s getting to work on time, learning how to cook dinner, or just figuring out what’s next—we’re here for it, and we’ve got guys enrolled who are living it.

This is what independence looks like—with a bit of guidance when it matters most.

It’s a brain-based disease—and it’s time we talked about it.

At Mental and Health Awareness, we believe in replacing stigma with understanding. Our latest article breaks down what addiction really is, how it affects the brain, and why recovery requires compassion—not judgment.

🧠 What causes addiction?
💔 Why can’t people “just stop”?
💬 How can we support someone in recovery?

This is more than an article—it’s a call to shift the conversation.

Do you know your rights under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973?

This critical civil rights law ensures that individuals with disabilities are not excluded from, denied benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal funding—including schools.

Whether you’re a parent advocating for your child, an educator seeking to better support your students, or someone navigating your own path, understanding Section 504 is essential.

You can learn more about the protections it provides and how it differs from other laws, such as the IDEA.

A 504 Plan refers to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a federal civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

This law applies to any organization or institution that receives federal funds, including public schools and other educational institutions.
