Exciting things are happening in South City! Gateway Housing First recently cut the ribbon on Francie’s Place, a new residential community that will be staffed by Places for People employees.

“I just wanted help. I just wanted to change.”

Derek spent over 10 years cycling through jail due to substance use. When he connected with Places for People, he gained access to therapy, recovery support, and housing, and started a new chapter.

Now, he’s thriving: more than two years sober, back in the workforce, and using his story to support others.

“I can’t imagine my life without PFP.”

During Recovery Month, we honor stories of hope, healing, and the power of second chances.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. 💙

Su***de is the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S. Individuals living with mental and behavioral health challenges are at an increased risk—but su***de is preventable.

Here are a few ways we can all help reduce deaths by su***de:
- Take a person-centered approach: improve access to healthcare, build positive relationships, and support essential needs.
- Identify and support people in crisis: learn the warning signs and speak up.
- Lessen harm and future risks: provide appropriate support after an attempt, educate about prevention, and reduce stigma.

Together, we can make a difference. 💬 Check in on someone today—you don’t have to be a therapist to make an impact.

📞 Call or text 988 for free, confidential support any time, day or night.

✨ Support more than 10,000 team members across 350+ locations
