Last Thursday, we gathered at The Common Man in Concord for our Annual Meeting, and what a night it was.

Manchester Mayor Jay Ruais delivered a keynote that stopped the room, sharing his own recovery story and why drug courts are so close to his heart. We presented the first-ever Bob Gasser Hope Award to Thomas Raffio of Northeast Delta Dental, honoring a partnership that has literally helped participants smile again. We hit our $30,000 Double the Hope Matching Challenge goal, meaning $6,000 in new resources for participants. And we celebrated 820 years of prison sentences that were never served, because 820 people chose recovery instead.

We also said a heartfelt thank you to outgoing Board President Tony Naro and welcomed Lara Saffo as our incoming president.
The best is still ahead. 💛

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year we're marking it with something worth sharing.

A 2025 independent study of New Hampshire's Drug Treatment Court programs found that the majority of people moving through our criminal justice system have experienced substance use disorder, mental illness, or both. For too long, those underlying conditions went unaddressed, and people cycled through the system again and again without ever getting real help.

Drug treatment courts are changing that. By treating addiction and mental health as the health issues they are, and surrounding participants with judges, counselors, and treatment providers all working toward the same goal, these programs are producing results. 82% of enrolled participants had no subsequent conviction during or after their time in the program.

Recovery takes more than a court date, though. It takes a working car to get there. A stable place to sleep. A prescription that doesn't get skipped because the money ran out.

The Friends of NH Drug Courts fills those gaps, one grant at a time. And right now, through the Double the Hope Challenge, every dollar you give is matched.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, give to the people doing the hard work of healing. We'll make your gift go twice as far.

Recovery can't wait. Double the Hope with a gift today!
