🎥 RECOVERY STORIES FROM THE RECOVERY CELEBRATION

At the 2025 Recovery Celebration, members of our community shared their personal recovery stories so others could hear a message of hope.

Today we’re sharing a story from Dylan Edwards.

Dylan shares about growing up in instability, moving through foster care, and losing his biological mother to drugs and alcohol at a young age. His recovery journey hasn’t been easy, and like many people, it has included setbacks along the way.

In this video, Dylan talks about what it means to keep going, take responsibility for your path, and build something different for yourself. Today, he celebrates three years in recovery and approaches each day as something to be proud of.

Recovery is not perfect, but it is possible. No matter where you come from or what you’ve been through, help is out there.

💜 Thank you, Dylan, for sharing your story and reminding others that change is possible.

As we look ahead to the 2026 Recovery Celebration on September 19, we are also taking time to thank the sponsors who helped make our 2025 Recovery Celebration possible.

🙏 Thank you Law Office of Israel Chávez for supporting recovery in our community.

We are especially grateful for the generosity, advocacy, and commitment that Israel Chávez brings to Las Cruces. His work reflects a deep dedication to supporting individuals and families, and a fierce determination to show up for this community in meaningful ways.

Recovery is strengthened when people are willing to stand up, speak out, and invest in the wellbeing of others. We are thankful for his support of the 2025 Recovery Celebration and for the role he plays in our community.

Thank you for standing with Las Cruces.

Southern New Mexico Giving Day is coming up on April 24.

The Las Cruces Su***de Prevention Task Force exists to make sure people in our community are not facing su***de loss or mental health challenges alone.

Our Survivors of Su***de support groups bring together people who have lost a loved one and need a place where they can talk openly and be understood.

We also work to build awareness, reduce stigma, and create spaces where people can have real conversations about mental health.

This work is about showing up for each other.

Save the date: April 24.

I’m ready to support LC Su***de Prevention Task Force on April 24, 2026 during Southern New Mexico Giving Day 2026. Learn more about LC Su***de Prevention Task Force and all the other organizations participating in Southern New Mexico Giving Day 2026.

🎥 RECOVERY STORIES FROM THE RECOVERY CELEBRATION

At the 2025 Recovery Celebration, members of our community shared their personal recovery stories so others could hear a message of hope.

Today we’re sharing a story from Victoria Reyes

Victoria shares about a time in her life when substance use and alcohol led to some of her lowest moments, including not wanting to wake up and feeling overwhelmed by her situation. In this video, she talks about what helped her begin to turn things around.

For Victoria, connection was key. Finding community, being able to talk openly with others, and surrounding herself with people who understood her experience made a life-changing difference.

Today, Victoria is a certified peer support worker, helping others navigate their own recovery journeys. She continues to show up for herself and her community every day, including putting in serious work at the gym 💪

Recovery is not easy, but it is possible. And no one has to do it alone.

💜 Thank you, Victoria, for sharing your story and for the work you do to support others.

Southern New Mexico Giving Day is coming up on April 24.

We’re raising funds for the Las Cruces Su***de Prevention Task Force. Our work is about connection.

We offer Survivors of Su***de (SOS) support groups for people who have lost a loved one. These groups give people a place to talk openly, be understood, and not feel alone in their grief.

We also provide community education and events that bring people together around mental health and su***de prevention.

This matters because too many people in our communities are experiencing isolation, loss, and what public health calls deaths of despair.

We can do something about that, together.

Save the date and plan your donation: April 24.

We’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks.

I’m ready to support LC Su***de Prevention Task Force on April 24, 2026 during Southern New Mexico Giving Day 2026. Learn more about LC Su***de Prevention Task Force and all the other organizations participating in Southern New Mexico Giving Day 2026.

As we look ahead to the 2026 Recovery Celebration on September 19, we are also taking time to thank the partners who made our 2025 Recovery Celebration possible.

🙏 Thank you to Families and Youth Innovations Plus (FYI+) .nm for their support.

FYI+ not only serves as the fiscal sponsor for the Las Cruces Su***de Prevention Task Force, helping make our work possible year-round, but also directly supported the 2025 Recovery Celebration as a sponsor.

Their partnership allows us to grow programs like Survivors of Su***de support groups, community education, and recovery-focused events that strengthen our community.

We are grateful for FYI+ and their continued investment in the wellbeing of Las Cruces.
