Share this message with your state government, federal representatives, stakeholders, and your community at large:

Dear Government Officials, Stakeholders, and Community Members,

Investing in recovery and recovery support services is a proven economic and public health strategy that benefits us all. Every dollar spent on recovery saves taxpayers $4–$7 in healthcare, criminal justice, and lost productivity costs. It strengthens families, reduces healthcare strain, and builds a healthier, more engaged workforce.

Access to community-based self-help, recovery housing, and other social-model recovery services lowers rates of disruptions in recovery lifespan, boosts productivity, and empowers individuals to rebuild their lives. Dedicated government support for recovery services isn’t just compassionate—it’s a smart policy that drives economic growth and creates thriving communities.

Invest in recovery—it pays dividends.

What an incredible day connecting with our community at the Community Connections Expo! 🤝 We were honored to be among so many amazing organizations dedicated to making a difference!

A huge shoutout to FAHASS (Fredericksburg Area Health and Support Services) and the Fredericksburg Regional Continuum of Care for organizing such a vital event. It’s inspiring to see so many come together to provide essential resources and support to families and individuals in need.

🎉 We’re holding up a big ‘2️⃣’ because HER House is thrilled to be expanding! We’re opening our second location to serve even more women on their journey to recovery. We were so excited to share this news with everyone today!

From haircuts and health screenings to clothing and food distribution, the Expo was a powerful reminder of the strength and compassion within our community. Thank you to all the vendors and attendees who made today such a success. We were proud to be a part of this impactful event for the second year in a row and look forward to seeing its continued growth and positive impact on our community in the years to come.

St Patrick’s Day can be tough, especially in early recovery. The good news? You’ve got this! ✨ Here are some tips to help you stay on track:

☘️ It’s Okay to Say No: Don’t feel pressured to attend events where alcohol is the focus. Your well-being comes first.

☘️ Plan Your Day, Your Way: Set yourself up for success! Whether it’s lining up a fun, alcohol-free activity or making plans with a supportive friend, having a plan is key.

☘️ Reach Out and Connect: Your support system is your superpower! Don’t hesitate to lean on your sponsor, a trusted friend, or a support group. You’re never alone in this.

☘️ Have an Exit Strategy: If you do go out, know when and how you’ll leave if things get uncomfortable. Bring a sober buddy to keep you accountable.

☘️ Prioritize Self-Care: Give yourself the gift of relaxation and rejuvenation. Indulge in activities that bring you joy and peace, whether it’s a soothing bath, a good book, or a favorite movie.

☘️ Celebrate Your Strength: Each sober day is a victory. Acknowledge how far you’ve come!

You’re not alone on this journey. HER House is here for you, today and every day. Wishing you a peaceful and sober St. Patrick’s Day! 🌈

💖 At HER House, we’re redefining recovery by embracing warmth, comfort, and the beauty of individuality. These fluffy pillows and soft blankets are just a glimpse of the love poured into every detail.

For me, de-institutionalization is more than a concept—it’s a mission. Addiction can trap us in cold, dark, and sterile places that strip away our humanity. But here, we’re reclaiming that humanity with bright colors, plush fabrics, and a space designed to nurture the soul.

Every woman who walks through our doors deserves to feel cherished, not confined. We believe in creating a sanctuary where healing isn’t just a process, but a celebration of self-worth.

Welcome to HER House, where love lives in every room. ✨ 🫶

Doing a double take here! ✨ These signs currently hang in our first HER House. When we were getting that project off the ground, I was inspired by the message and I hope the women who live there feel that way too! Finding them for our second home felt like a sign in itself! 🥹

"She believed she could, so she did", a reminder of the strength and resilience we see in every woman we support.

And "your choice :):" - a symbol of the empowerment we strive to foster.

We're beyond excited to announce the opening of our SECOND sober living home in early April! From goofy sprints in the store (see the video in comments! 😂) to finding these perfect pieces, it's all coming together. We can't wait to welcome more women into this safe and supportive space.

Wow! We’ve been flooded with requests for more information about HER House, our expansion, and ways to get involved. The outpouring of community support has been incredible! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! ☺️ 🫶
