🌟 Full Circle Moments at Chrysalis House 🌟

We had the incredible honor of welcoming back one of our amazing alumnae, who spoke to our current clients about her journey, resilience, and recovery. Her story was a powerful reminder that healing is possible, and that hope is always within reach.

As we approach International Overdose Awareness Day (August 31st), we are reminded of the importance of sharing stories, breaking stigma, and uplifting one another. Stay tuned—more speakers and special events are coming throughout the month and the next as we honor lives lost, celebrate those in recovery, and advocate for change.

Thank you to the Maryland Association of Counties for bringing us together to exchange ideas, explore solutions, and strengthen the connections that help nonprofits and local governments work hand-in-hand for lasting impact.

💚🌿 Happy National Relaxation Day from Chrysalis House! 💚🌿

Today, we’re honoring the power of pausing, breathing, and reconnecting because rest is recovery. For the women in our care, relaxation isn’t a luxury, it’s a vital part of healing. Whether it’s through yoga, nature walks, or quiet time in the garden or library, we are creating space for calm and clarity.

To all the strong women learning to slow down and care for themselves: you deserve peace. Every deep breath is a step forward!

Our FarmUnity Garden is coming to life, and the sunflowers are starting to bloom: a beautiful symbol of growth, resilience, and hope. Just like the women we serve, these flowers are reaching toward the light, nurtured with care and rooted in healing.

Stay tuned—there’s more beauty to come!

Summer fun is in full swing at the Merrill Family Child Care Center (CCC) and our staff is getting creative!

Our team has brought the sunshine indoors by decorating their doors with cheerful themes like tropical beaches, birds & butterflies, and honeybees! Not only do these festive doors brighten our CCC, but they also reflect the love, imagination, and joy our staff brings to the children in our care every single day.

At Chrysalis House, healing happens in more ways than one and it’s growing right in our backyard! We’re proud to partner with FarmUnity and our in-house chef through Unidine to bring a farm-to-table experience directly to our clients. Together, we are turning our FarmUnity Garden into a source of nourishment, empowerment, and wellness.

Our clients grow the food themselves—from cucumbers to eggplants—and our talented Unidine chef transforms it into fresh, nutritious meals like cucumber salad and eggplant parmesan. And we’re just getting started, watermelons and cantaloupes are on the way! 🍉🍈

💛 Happy International Day of Friendship 🦋

Friendship plays a powerful role in the journey of healing and recovery - offering support, understanding, and strength when it’s needed most. At Chrysalis House, we see friendships and bonds formed that remind our clients that they are never alone. Because recovery isn’t just about rebuilding yourself, it is about building each other up, too.
