Amity would like to highlight BHT, Grayson Deem this week!

Grayson embodies one of our favorite stories. He’s an individual that came to Amity in search of a new way to live and he returned a year later with a solid recovery, and a passion for being a part of that journey for others as a staff member.

His investment in recovery is unwavering. Our clients find him to be someone they can trust to really listen but not sugarcoat, a balance that can be challenging. He has the gift of guiding with a mix of thoughtful wisdom and infectious laughter.

Grayson offers a Bible devotional to all that are interested, facilitates evening meetings and coin out celebrations, and started a
group called “Introduction to the 12 Steps,” which has been a valuable springboard for our clients just starting a program.

Next week, Grayson will begin PRSS training to further his reach in addiction recovery. We are truly grateful for the experience he brings and the ways he continues to grow in the agency.

Thank you so much!

Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones.

Residents that are working on healing from addictions during this time feel the very real pain of this separation.

Many, this year, have found connection with a new kind of family. Along with building bonds with their fellow residents, Amity staff outdid themselves creating a meal that would make this holiday feel like home.

It was a beautiful day filled with football, holiday movies, a steady parade through the dining room and lots of napping.

It always feels good to be a part of caring for our vulnerable community members but seeing how our small, tightly knit staff come together to make holidays special is the most meaningful.

Thank you ♥️ Happy Thanksgiving holiday to all.

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”
John C. Maxwell

There has been a transition of leadership here at Amity. We are wishing “Best of luck!” to Kristen Casto in her promotion within the agency. Kristen is excited to shape a team, helping to realize the CCBHC model at Westbrook as the Care Coordination Division Director. This dynamic approach for integrating mental health and substance use needs will streamline care for our most vulnerable community members.

Stepping up to lead the program here at Amity is Laken Bosley! Laken has served Amity as a Case Manager for nearly three years, so she knows the program well and will continue to serve Amity with patience and consistency. We are excited for her promotion and welcome her as our new Program Director.

Please join us in congratulating these two as they embark on their new journey!

We would like to introduce you to Claudia, a seasoned evening BHT here at Amity!

Claudia Raver has served our clients as a BHT for nearly three years and in that time, she has seen the program go through a lot of changes from building remodels to policy and procedure updating and implementation. It’s vital that our direct care workers have the flexibility of mind to pivot and bend to meet the everchanging needs that come with serving the community.

While Claudia can go with the flow where the program is concerned, there’s a part of her that doesn’t budge and that is her rock-solid boundaries. She consistently delivers a keen balance of client-centered care and compassion with an unshakable inner calm and presence that puts the ball gently back in the client’s court and helps them sort out their emotions without the use of manipulation.

Evening shift, having more down time, offers clients and staff the opportunity to engage more. They can enjoy longer periods of time outside at break time and during meals to catch up, reflect on the day and talk about upcoming goals and benchmarks of recovery. Claudia is always happy to be a sounding board for the residents and offers advice when she’s asked without being pushy. I have observed her asking open-ended questions and with a quiet smile and c**k of her head, giving them the space to really consider what was asked. That’s something that seems to come very naturally to her and we are so grateful.

Thank you for your consistency and willingness to help our residents take responsiblity, hold each other accountable, recognize their potential and reach for their goals! You’re a rock star!

Residents and staff of Amity want to shout a HUGE thank you for the outpouring of community support! We asked and you delivered… literally. We have had deliveries from Amity alumni as well as local churches, classrooms and businesses.

You delivered Bibles and devotional materials.

You delivered hygiene supplies.

You delivered tennis shoes, slides, socks and underwear.

You delivered blankets.

You delivered items to our residents that will allow them to shift their focus from survival to hope. From chaos to stability. From feeling alone to feeling cared for.

We appreciate you!

Snuggle in. This is a long one.

Some of you might recognize this area as the ground where the old wooden “smoke shack” used to sit. As time passed, it became weak and decayed and the decision was made to tear it down.

Demolition day came in very early spring and when this new plot of dirt was exposed, I had grand plans of tilling, adding top soil and planting wild flowers.

When other things took priority for me week after week, the residents began cleaning the area of years of trash, screws, and cigarette butts on their own. Pretty soon they began turning the dirt. It was the poorest, rockiest tortured ground that anyone could ever hope to cultivate.

It didn’t look promising and although the motivated gardeners had finished their time in treatment, the new group still walked around and not through it as if anything could possibly be stirring under the surface.

One Monday in June, I returned after a weekend to find three stakes had been driven into the ground. I went to examine the protrusions and a female resident excitedly exclaimed “There are pumpkins growing in there!” I smiled and nodded but decided quickly in my head that there was absolutely no chance that whatever sad green sprouts had managed to emerge would ever produce anything resembling a pumpkin.

She and a handful of other residents remained optimistic and carried water to them day after day. As they vined around, I would see several of them squat and inspect under leaves every now and then for signs of flowers. “Thats nice,” I thought to myself, devoid of any hope at all that they would flower let alone be pollinated.

Pretty soon, the hose from the back of the building was stretched across the yard. Some novice gardener residents were watering these poor vines at high noon on a 98 degree day! “Nice knowing ya, pumpkins!” I’d mutter under my breath.

July brought an intense heat wave. My OWN pumpkins struggled, wilted and died. I could barely believe my eyes when I returned to work one Monday morning and theirs were BLOOMING! Not just a couple of blooms either. More than I could count!

Over that weekend, they had also started working on a painted rock boarder sporting names, crosses, rainbows and words of encouragement.

Then the fruit came. They came so vibrant and healthy that I felt bad for ever doubting them. We still don’t know exactly what they are but they. are. bountiful.

I’m sure, at this point, I don’t need to paint this metaphor for you but I hope this serves as a reminder for you that even when it doesn’t appear that growth is possible, even when you are doubted every step of the way, with a little bit of love and care, a new life can find a way. ♥️
