Face Addiction Now

Our Hope Not Handcuffs team and Call Center were on top of their game again in January, helping people with compassion, empathy, and hope.🩵

Hope Not Handcuffs connected 𝟯𝟲𝟲 people to treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction in January. Our unbelievable Call Center team also answered 𝟯,𝟮𝟰𝟳 calls—an average of almost 𝟭𝟬𝟱 per day! Here's hoping all the men and women who went to treatment last month can end the thing that's not working for them and find recovery.💙

Thank you to Mary S. and Freda V., the volunteer Angels who helped us with the process. And—as always—our deepest gratitude to the many law enforcement agencies and community partners who collaborated with us in January. We couldn't do what we do without you! (𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.)👮

We’re proud to celebrate three incredible partners making a difference in our community.

Mark and Marnie, FAN Case Managers embedded with the Sterling Heights Police Department, were honored by the City of Sterling Heights with the Outstanding Performance of the Year Award for their compassionate, hands-on work connecting residents to resources, support, recovery, and hope.

We also want to congratulate Joshua J. Selby, who was named Detective of the Year. In addition to his work as a SHPD detective, Joshua partners closely with FAN's ReDirect program and our Sterling Heights Quick Response Team, helping strengthen the bridge between public safety and community support.

This is what true collaboration looks like — law enforcement and community care working side by side to help people move forward.

Congratulations to all three on this well-deserved recognition! 👏💙

You’re invited.

This Month’s Topic: “Surviving Su***de Loss: Finding Hope After Tragedy”

At our January FAN Forum, we will be joined by Dennis Liegghio, founder and president of KnowResolve, who will share his powerful story of loss, resilience, and hope after losing his father to su***de as a teenager. Dennis will speak openly about his struggles with depression, the coping strategies that helped him survive, and how discovering songwriting became a meaningful part of his healing journey and inspired the creation of KnowResolve.
This is an open forum, all are welcome, and free pizza will be served.

💙 Shout out to Diane Renee Soulliere

Ahead of Tuesday’s Detroit Street Outreach Blitz, Diane mobilized her network to prepare 500 sandwiches, which were picked up and distributed throughout the night by our HARM:LESS team, FAN’s Detroit Quick Response Team, and the many outreach partners involved in this winter’s Blitz.

Support like this helps create meaningful points of connection during outreach, and we’re grateful for her continued commitment to our community. 💙

From 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Tuesday, outreach teams from across the region came together for the annual 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘇—covering the entire city to connect with neighbors facing homelessness, substance use challenges, and urgent unmet needs.

Working side by side, organizations provided support across housing navigation, harm reduction, spiritual care, human trafficking response, hygiene supplies, food access, connections to ongoing services, and even veterinary care for pets.

Ten hours. Countless connections. One shared mission: showing up for Detroit’s most vulnerable neighbors. 💙🤝
