These 8 house rules weren’t handed down. They were written — together — by our residents.

During a recent group activity, we asked:
👉 “What rules help make a space feel safe, respectful, and recovery-focused?”

✍️ What followed was real, powerful, and personal.
Each rule came from lived experience. Each word reflects a commitment to growth.

This is what it looks like when recovery culture is built by the people in it.
Not just lived — owned.

💬 What’s one rule YOU live by in your own healing journey?

The Rules We Chose”

These 8 rules weren’t printed. They were chosen.

In a quiet moment of reflection and connection, our residents came together and asked:
“What does it take to make a house feel like recovery?”

This is what they wrote.
Every rule, every word — rooted in respect, growth, and shared accountability.
📝 Real people.
🧠 Real recovery.
💬 Real voices.

This is recovery — owned and lived.

Word of the Day: Resilience

Resilience is the ability to adapt, recover, and remain steady when faced with challenges, changes, or difficulties. It’s not about always agreeing—it’s about finding the strength to move forward and stay committed, even when the path isn’t the one you would have chosen.

Resilience doesn’t mean silence or blind agreement. It means that even when you may not personally agree with a decision, you choose to respect the directive, carry it out with integrity, and uphold the mission and values behind it.

By practicing resilience, we show strength of character, teamwork, and dedication. We model perseverance, set the tone for others, and create stability even in uncertain times.

How can you show resilience today—in a way that supports your team, honors your values, and keeps you moving forward?

At Tandem, we believe that real change starts with real conversations.

Before we share this month’s messages, we want to pause and acknowledge a truth:

🧩 Mental health care is not one-size-fits-all.
🧩 Barriers, stigma, and disparities still exist—and they impact lives every day.
🧩 Representation, access, and culturally responsive care matter.

This July, for Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re leaning into honest dialogue, shared stories, and a commitment to equitable care.

We invite you to walk with us.
