Did you know? 👀

We have a team of staff on call 24/7, every day of the week.

When one of our Recovery Coaches gets a page, they respond directly to the Emergency Department at Copley Hospital… meeting people navigating substance use and recovery right at the bedside with compassion, support, and real-time information.

No judgment. Just care, connection, and options when it matters most 🤝

It can almost be infuriating to be told to “try grounding” when life feels completely unmanageable.

But there’s a reason it’s talked about so often… because it works.

Grounding brings you back to the here and now.
And for a moment, all the “what ifs” aren’t quite so loud.

What grounding techniques have actually worked for you? 🌿
