New Vitae Wellness and Recovery

This year marked 10 years of the Action Recovery Brain Injury Program - a decade of growth, resilience, community, and meaningful connection.

Yesterday, our New Vitae community gathered at Anne’s Artisan Center in Quakertown to celebrate this milestone. Staff and program members came together to share stories, reflect on their journeys, enjoy activities, and celebrate the progress that has shaped Action Recovery into the program it is today.

There were moments of laughter, gratitude, and pride as we recognized not just the years behind us, but the lives changed through perseverance, teamwork, and the unwavering support of families, clinicians, and staff.

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has been part of Action Recovery over the past decade. Your dedication and belief in what’s possible continue to move this program forward.

Here’s to 10 years of purpose, progress, and possibility - and to all the new chapters still ahead. 💙🧡

Today, we proudly came together to celebrate the veterans within our New Vitae community through reflection, song, and heartfelt appreciation. Our celebration included reflections, gratitude, and unity, highlighted by staff member Emily Horner, whose beautiful performances of the National Anthem and God Bless America moved everyone in attendance.

A big thank you to Donna Devlin for continuing the tradition of creating this year’s veteran sweatshirts and thoughtful gift bags for our staff and resident veterans. Special appreciation as well for the care and dedication that went into planning such a meaningful day. It truly showed in every detail.

We’re proud to share a look at Justin and Taliah showing off this year’s New Vitae Veteran swag!

While we take great pride in honoring our own veterans today, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have served and continue to serve across our nation. Your dedication and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Another American Residential Treatment Association (ARTA) meeting has come and gone. This fall, we gathered with colleagues from across the country to continue advancing leadership, collaboration, and support in residential mental health care.

This meeting was especially meaningful as we bid farewell to Stephen Schramm, who attended his final ARTA gathering. His leadership and dedication have left a lasting impression, and we wish him all the best in his next chapter.

We were also excited to welcome two new programs into the ARTA network, further strengthening our community and expanding the reach of residential treatment across the nation.

✨ Many things are in the works! Make sure you follow American Residential Treatment Association on LinkedIn and Facebook so you don’t miss what’s coming next!

New Vitae Wellness and Recovery was honored to serve as the presenting sponsor for this year’s powerful Rothkoff Law Group Elder Care Symposium.

From Dr. John E. Brose’s impactful keynote to the many meaningful conversations surrounding mental health and older adults, every session sparked reflection and inspired action. Topics like su***de prevention, trauma-informed care, and medication management were explored with both empathy and urgency - reminding us of the importance of person-centered, integrated care as we age.

We were proud to see residential treatment represented by colleagues from the American Residential Treatment Association (ARTA), highlighting how structured behavioral health supports can enhance care for older adults with specialized mental health needs.

A big thank-you to the Rothkoff Law Group team for bringing together such an incredible group of professionals, thought leaders, and advocates. We’re grateful to be part of the conversation - and committed to continuing it.

Each year on October 16th, we celebrate National Veterans BBQ Day, a day dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans through connection, gratitude, and great food.

At New Vitae, we hosted a special BBQ for our veteran staff and residents to recognize their service and enjoy some well-earned appreciation.

Our Veteran Service Coordinator, Justin, took charge at the grill, and since Veterans BBQ Day always falls on 10/16, it will forever be his birthday BBQ! 🎉

A big thank-you to Donna, who added a sweet touch with her homemade brownies that everyone loved.

Thank you to everyone who made today a meaningful celebration of service and community. ❤️🤍💙

At New Vitae Wellness and Recovery, we know that mental wellness isn’t just about where you are, it’s about how you feel, how you heal, and how you show up for yourself.

On this World Mental Health Day, we’re honoring the quiet strength it takes to create peace within, and the power of community in helping each other get there.

The world moves fast. Our minds often move faster.

This week is a reminder to slow down, to notice what we need, and to give ourselves permission to just be. Not perfect. Not always productive. Just present.

At New Vitae Wellness and Recovery, we believe healing happens in the in-between moments — in stillness, in support, in the space to breathe again.
