The Guidance Center

Millions of people have changed their relationship with substances. Showcasing the real stories of three individuals, the new “Start With Hope” campaign highlights the power and role of hope in the recovery journey and connects individuals to resources available to support unique paths to recovery.

There’s nothing more important than creating a safe workplace, and that includes ensuring employees are prepared to handle violent critical incidents. While a lockdown-only approach has been the go-to practice for many years, federal and state agencies recommend practices that utilize a multi-option response. The emerging research on the harmful effects of trauma makes it necessary to rethink outdated safety procedures and incorporate trauma-informed safety courses to support vulnerable individuals as much as possible. To this effort we will be offering an ALICE Active Shooter Response training to become a certified instructor on November 5 and 6, 2024 at our Center for Excellence (Building 2) on our Southgate campus. All are invited to attend this course for active shooter preparedness and other safety and emergency measures, and to empower all citizens with the skills and knowledge to respond when shots are fired.

When we embrace hope, recovery from substance use disorders is possible. The Ad Council, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Council for Mental Wellbeing, and Shatterproof, has launched a new campaign, “Start With Hope,” which aims to deliver a message of hope to those living with substance use disorders (SUDs) as well as those at risk of developing a SUD. Stay tuned for more information and resources to help inspire individuals with the motivating power of hope and connecting them with harm reduction strategies and treatment resources to start their recovery journey.
