Shouting out some of our Burke FCT-R Leaders!

Family Centered Treatment-Recovery offers intensive, home-based, trauma-informed treatment tailored to families affected by substance use. It addresses the underlying causes of substance use and its impact on family stability, attachment, and safety, including the need for out-of- home placement.

By strengthening family bonds, FCT-R promotes healing and long-term recovery, addressing the unique and complex needs of its target population, particularly those struggling with substance use disorders.

Our NC Central Piedmont FCT Team Supervisor, Shayonna Branch, recently led the team on a fun and meaningful outing in Raliegh, NC that blended connection with learning.

TCM is a service where a Care Manager can help an individual meet their health goals by coordinating medical, social and behavioral health services and by assisting in finding and accessing resources like transportation, healthy food and safe housing.

A Care Manager is a specially trained health care worker who works with the client and all health care providers, including doctors, to make sure clients get the right care when and where they need it. The Care Manager knows what resources are available in the community and will work with local providers.

The Care Manager can:
• Ensure clients have access to the physical health, pharmacy, behavioral health, and social resources you need to live their best life
• Help arrange appointments and transportation to and from the doctor
• Support clients in reaching their goals to better manage their ongoing health conditions
• Answer questions about what their medicines do and how to take them
• Follow up with client’s doctors or specialists about their care
• Connect clients to helpful resources in your community
• Help clients continue to receive the care they need if you switch health plans or doctors

Our Sr. VP of Operations, Helen Austin, recently shared a powerful reminder about the true impact of peer support 💙

"We intentionally sought to integrate Peer Support Specialists into our teams because we believe recovery is most powerful when it is shared. Peer support is not just a service model to us — it is a philosophy rooted in hope, lived experience, and authentic connection.

We value the dual benefit of employing individuals with lived experience: it creates meaningful career pathways for people in recovery while simultaneously strengthening outcomes for the individuals we serve. Peers bring credibility and relatability that cannot be taught. They connect with individuals not from a place of theory, but from a place of “I’ve been there.” That shared understanding builds trust, reduces stigma, and opens doors that might otherwise remain closed.

We appreciate how Peer Support Specialists are uniquely positioned to be both empathetic and empowering. They model resilience, demonstrate that change is possible, and help others envision a fuller, self-directed life. Their presence reinforces that recovery is real, sustainable, and attainable — because they are living proof of it."

Today is Random Acts of Kindness day:

💙 Random Acts of Kindness Day
We often hear stories about random acts of kindness that saved someone’s life or was a piviotal moment that changed the trajectory of their lives.
A stranger who checked in.
A moment of being seen.
A small act that came at exactly the right time.
At SPARC Services and Programs, we know that for individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, those moments matter. Kindness can interrupt isolation, restore hope, and remind someone they are not alone.
We also know that engaging in acts of kindness can in turn reduce stress, increase happy hormones and spread more kindness.
Today is a reminder that even the smallest, most unexpected act of kindness can have a profound impact sometimes more than we will ever know.
