"Among insured adults who described their mental health as fair or poor, 43% reported at least one time in the past year when they needed mental health services or medication but did not receive them; some groups – including communities of color, youth and young adults – experience greater barriers."

Why this work matters.

This recovery story was recently shared with us, and with their permission, we want to share with you.

During the pandemic, one person hit rock bottom - grieving losses to fentanyl and hospitalized with Covid. Those forced days of sobriety became a turning point. She entered treatment and was introduced to digital peer support tools.

What made the difference? Community. Daily inspiration to stay grounded. Peer connections during the loneliest moments. Learning to set boundaries. Five years later, she's still engaged and is now supporting others on their journey.

To our partners in treatment, public health, and health plans - this is what we're building together. THIS is our collective WHY.

When programs integrate peer-backed digital support tools into their programs, they're extending care beyond clinical walls. They're creating spaces where people don't recover alone.

The impact isn't always captured in data. Sometimes it's a daily quote that keeps someone going. Sometimes it's showing up to encourage someone else on a hard day.

That's the work we do together. And it matters deeply.
