Happy Spring Equinox to you🌱

As the trees bud and the days grow lighter, remember that rest is part of growth too.

Build in moments of self-care this season like going on a walk, drinking plenty of water, or reconnecting with friends and family.

We're proud to celebrate Sandra Krone, CPFS, AAT, who recently completed the Northern Colorado Peer Recovery Leadership Development Program!

Over six months, Sandra learned about trauma-informed leadership, peer support, and healthy boundaries. "I appreciated that the program honored peer voice and encouraged us to lead in ways that matched our values," Sandra shared.

Sandra is ready to support others in recovery, set healthy boundaries, and speak up for peers in her community.

Programs like this help strengthen peer support, which research shows leads to better relationships, lower relapse rates, and more success in treatment.

Thank you, Sandra, for your dedication to our community!
