🍂 Addiction Recovery Challenges and Opportunities 🍂 The holiday of Thanksgiving is built on the concepts of gratitude, connection, and shared tradition. For many in recovery, it also brings emotional complexity. Including the less positive aspects of family and friend expectations, old triggers, and social pressures that can surface when least expected. With the right mindset and preparation, however, Thanksgiving can become a moment of empowerment and meaningful growth in the journey of addiction recovery. 🍂 Here are some ideas and tips to help make this Thanksgiving more peaceful - and a growth opportunity.

San Francisco, you were beautiful.
EAPA, you were inspiring.

Kudos to our SH+W crew: David Burke LAADC-CA / ICADC, Jeremy Miller, Justis Olsen, CADC-CAS, Angelina Horn, and Prairie Francia (morning yoga MVP!) who did a stellar job representing Sierra.

As Presidential Level Sponsor at , we were there for one reason: to stand with EAPs who stand with employees. A huge thank you to Boyd Scoggins, CEAP, LPC, SAP, MBA and EAPA, for creating a space where connection turns into care.

Sierra Health + Wellness is committed to being a steady & reliable partner to EAPs today, tomorrow, and always 💙

🍃 New Podcast: Hope, Healing, and Wellness. 🍃 This week's podcast topic: 🔥 NorCal First Responders Operational Stress Treatment. 🔥 Operational Stress in first responders can occur from exposure to traumatic events, constant pressure, long hours, lack of sleep, and crisis decision-making. The stigma attached to mental illness (PTSD, Trauma, etc.) is very real and causes many individuals to suffer in silence. This can be especially true for 1st responders. When 1st responders receive treatment soon after health impacts from a traumatic event are noticed – months of suffering can be avoided. Questions or Need Help? Contact Sierra Health and Wellness at 866-303-6275.
