Healthy Habits: Combating Isolation, Strengthening Communities Social isolation significantly affects seniors’ health and well-being. That’s why the Healthy Habits program prioritizes social engagement—creating a space where seniors can connect, stay active, and feel supported. Just last month, a participant shared how Healthy Habits helped him rebuild his confidence and reconnect with his community. This program is more than fitness—it’s about transforming lives. With the support of partners like UPMC Health Plan and Highmark, we can expand these opportunities and enhance community health for even more seniors. Interested in advancing social health initiatives? Let’s collaborate to support the well-being of seniors. #SeniorHealth #SocialConnection #CommunityWellness #UPMC #Highmark

You may have heard of the Continuum of Care model—or perhaps it’s new to you. Far from just a concept, it’s a vital, comprehensive approach to supporting individuals affected by substance use. This model represents the full journey of care, encompassing everything from the initial steps of prevention to sustained support as individuals rebuild and thrive in their communities. Here's how it works: it begins with awareness and prevention, followed by access to essential support, personalized treatment options, and finally fostering long-term community connections. This is the Continuum of Care model we believe in - committed, unwavering support from the very step. Because everyone is #SomeonesSomeone, and we all deserve a pathway to wellness. #NAAW2024 #CMHAPeelDufferin
