New Chapter! Worcester IRTP

Huge thank you to Angelia, her team, & all the youth at the Worcester Recovery Center! We had a great day speaking with staff about what they can do to help residents while taking care of themselves. We also had a discussion with parents on what we can do to Best support their struggling children. Most importantly, we had an activity with the youth and it gave me hope to hear some of their stories and get to connect with many of them. They made up their own 13 Reasons and we discussed how we are the future and we can shift stigma and shatter labels.I’m so happy with how today went: Thank you Worcester IRTP!

This Valentine’s Day…

However you celebrate today, (or even if you don’t) remember YOU are loved. While it’s so important to spread love to others, it needs to start from within! Remember that today is a day to not only spend with your loved ones but to spend with YOU & to do things that promote Self-Love and anything that’ll make you feel happy! Because as always, you are worth it & are so deserving of your own love 🎀❤️
