We're very grateful for this second group of Strive to Thrive Lincoln volunteers from UNL's Nebraska College of Business! They showed so much empathy and interest in all things Peer Support, and their service around the office was greatly appreciated.

We are here for you. To listen. To support. To care.
Thank you to Taisa, our Lead Community Training Coordinator, and our Board Secretary Regina of Marvilee, for always leading with understanding and hope.
Wellbeing Initiative offers free peer support for anyone who needs it; just stop in. Narcan is available here, too – no cost, no questions.

"How about asking someone how they're doing or how you can support them, instead of just, you know, shaming them. They get enough of that."

The "Many Pathways to Recovery" event in Nebraska City was a great success! Thank you to the ComebackERA Program with CHI Health St. Mary's and other partners, staff from Wellbeing Initiative, and phenomenal participation from the community. It's inspiring to see folks coming together to share about recovery and demonstrate what's possible when we do it together.

This week William and Donnie attended "Skill-Building for Advocacy", hosted by NAMI Nebraska and Civic Nebraska. At this training and Capitol experience, they learned more about how to turn their lived experience into effective advocacy skills, while also gaining a practical understanding of how policymaking works in Nebraska. They are ready to continue their advocacy in big ways!
