September is National Recovery Month
National Recovery Month is an annual observance celebrated each September since 1989. In September and throughout the year, Recovery Month spreads the message that: Prevention works; Treatment is effective; and People recover from mental and/or substance use disorders.
The goal of recovery is for individuals to lead successful, satisfying, and healthy lives in the community. BHcare plays a vital role in addressing the diverse needs of people in recovery from mental and/or substance use disorders, says Marilyn Cormack, President of BHcare. Housing, employment, education, and socialization are all pieces of the puzzle that fit together to achieve overall behavioral health objectives. BHcare provides treatment, medication, education, supervised housing, employment, peer support, sober socials along with many other services to aid in recovery. Visit bhcare.org for more information.

en Who Give
Men Who Give is a unique campaign, supported soley by men, to benefit the Center for Domestic Violence Services (CDVS). It was developed by a concerned group of men who felt compelled to help raise much needed funds for domestic violence programs and services in the Greater New Haven shoreline and Lower Naugatuck Valley communities.
Each year more than 50,000 Connecticut residents are victims of domestic violence. I know my gift will help those women, men and children receive the services they need to live, safe, healthy and happy lives. Donations provide crisis services, safe house services, community support, court-based services and community education. Each dollar donated will help save the life of someone in danger and I am happy that I can help. ~ Bill Bassett, Southbury, CT. I give because I believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a safe, healthy and happy life. ~ John Letizia, Esq.,Guilford, CT.
