If you’re driving through Joliet today, look up!
Check out our new billboard on I-80 near Larkin, and it carries a message for anyone who needs to hear it: Support is here. We are so grateful to the 708 Community Board of Will County for helping us share these life-changing resources. Mental health matters, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.

Next time you're on the highway, pull over, visit, and take a pic with it! Tag us to help share the message of support.

As we step into 2026, we want to wish you a Happy New Year! This is a season of fresh beginnings, and we are deeply grateful for each of you who makes up our recovery community.

As we move forward, let us remember that this work is not done by our own strength alone. We place our trust in our Heavenly Father—“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5–6). It is through Him that we find the strength to do the work we are called to do.

In this new year, let us be intentional about praying for one another and for all who are walking through the journey of recovery. May 2026 be filled with great expectations, open doors, financial blessings, prosperity, and the fulfillment of God-given desires.

Remember, God’s banner of love is over us, and He is covering us. As we continue this work, let us also recognize when it’s time to pause, reset, and be refreshed, so we can avoid burnout and walk in balance.

It is our prayer that this year will be one of victorious living.

God bless you, and Happy New Year!
