🌟 September is National Recovery Month! It’s a time to celebrate the strides made in recovery from substance use and mental health challenges and to push for more effective treatments and practices. With your help, we can make Recovery Month 2024 the best yet. Every Monday in September, we will be showcasing ways to get involved. Here are a few things we can do to kick off the month: 💜 Go Purple: Use purple backgrounds in virtual meetings, change to purple logos, and use purple signature blocks in emails. Additionally, share posts with #RecoveryBelongsIL. 🏘️ Spread the Purple: Decorate your community with purple—paint storefront windows, hang purple bows, use purple light bulbs, write messages in purple sidewalk chalk, or wear purple clothing and/or accessories. 📢 Share Positive Messages: Use phrases like "Recovery is for All," "It's Okay to Not Be Okay," "Recovery is Possible," "Support Recovery," "You Are Not Alone," "There's Always Hope," "It's Okay to Ask for Help," and "Recover Out Loud" to spread hope and support. 🏛️ Advocate Locally: Encourage local leaders to officially recognize September as "Recovery Month" in your community. 🗣️ Support Local Events: Check out the National Hub Event and other resources: Rally for Recovery: National Hub Event IDHS Help is Here https://lnkd.in/gPgQaWn SAMHSA’s Recovery Month Toolkit https://lnkd.in/gK4Zm6zS 📚 Share and Celebrate: Highlight local recovery resources and success stories from your community.

We’re excited to share that AID recently hosted ten surveyors from CARF International a respected nonprofit that accredits organizations like ours. This accreditation is crucial not only for Medicaid billing and contracts but also for our ongoing commitment to excellence. Over the past few days, the CARF surveyors reviewed our services, policies, and leadership against over 2,000 standards. We’re proud to say they were impressed by our team’s positivity and solution-focused approach. Congratulations to all our staff for their hard work and preparation! While we’re always striving to improve, let’s take a moment to celebrate the incredible work happening here every day. 🌟 (A few smiling I/DD staff members are pictured here, but staff from every department really shined! 😎)

Alongside board member Jim Gould, representatives from NISRA, Clearbrook, Pioneer Center, Gigi’s Playhouse, Rock the Spectrum, and the school district transition program contributed to the conversation. What followed was a very productive meeting! 🌟 #CommunityEngagement #InclusiveWork #IDDAdvocacy #AID

Congratulations to 1212 Larkin in Elgin has been honored with the 2024 Landmarks Illinois Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Award for Rehabilitation! 🎉 This historic building, originally the Larkin Center built in 1912, had been vacant since 2013. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Full Circle Communities, it's been beautifully reimagined as part of a new affordable housing development. The project has breathed new life into this iconic structure, creating 48 high-quality housing units that reflect Elgin's rich architectural heritage. AID provides Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILA) Independent Community Integrated Living Arrangements (I-CILA) and Behavioral Health programs such as Supported Living services to many residents of 1212 Larkin. Thank you, Landmarks Illinois, for this incredible recognition! #HistoricPreservation #ElginIL
