✨ Celebrating 4 Years of Recovery – Tracy’s Journey✨

Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a very special milestone—4 years of recovery for our alumni and team member, Tracy.💙

From walking through our doors as a resident to becoming a vital part of our team, Tracy’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Today, she serves as our Drug Screening & Medication Specialist, playing a critical role in supporting the safety, accountability, and success of others on their recovery path.

In the video shared here, our CEO, Frank Bellanger, presents Tracy with a custom challenge coin inscribed with “Made a Difference to That One”; a small token that represents the very real impact she has on the lives of those we serve every single day. 🪙

Tracy’s story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible—and that it creates leaders, mentors, and changemakers within our community.

We are honored to walk alongside you, Tracy. Thank you for your dedication, your strength, and the difference you continue to make. 💫

👏 Please join us in congratulating Tracy on this incredible milestone!

Recovery is rarely a straight line. For many individuals, it begins in a place of uncertainty: feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure if change is even possible.

The story shared below is a powerful reminder that it doesn’t happen overnight, but with the right support, it can happen.

At its core, this testimonial reflects something we see every day: when individuals are met with compassion, structure, and a sense of community, real transformation becomes possible.

We were thrilled to welcome VCU dental program graduates to provide oral health education and cancer screening to our residents.

On Tuesday, March 31st, Bryce and Matt facilitated the seminar portion of our program. This session focused on the importance of oral health, oral cancer risk factors, and guidance on accessing dental care resources.

On Wednesday, April 1st, all members of our group facilitated the activity portion of our program. This includes oral cancer screenings as well as oral hygiene instruction and nutrition information tables.

Ms. Marion Manski, Dental Hygiene Program Director at VCU, oversaw the oral cancer screening.

Thank you for addressing the oral health needs of our residents!

We had such a wonderful time today touring Pasadena Villa! 😊 It was a pleasure seeing such a beautiful space and connecting with Lee and the team.

At StarCity Behavioral Health, we love showing appreciation for those who work tirelessly to support individuals facing substance use and mental health challenges—so of course, we brought a few treats along! 🍪💙

It truly takes a village. When we come together—regardless of the names of our organizations—we can make a bigger impact and reach more people who need support.

Grateful for partnerships like these and the shared mission to change lives every single day. ✨

Today, StarCity Behavioral Health and Starfish Recovery & Wellness had the opportunity to attend the Richard Bland Wellness Pop-Up Event! 🌟

I truly love what I do and feel incredibly blessed to be part of organizations that are so dedicated to helping individuals who are struggling with substance use disorder. 💙

Our purpose at today’s event was to help address the gap in services at Richard Bland College by building trust, strengthening connections, and fostering community resilience. We were proud to provide direct access to off-campus care, support, and resources for those who need it most.

It’s always inspiring to come together with the community to make a real difference. 💫
