On September 8th, Peer Recovery Services hosted our annual Suicide Prevention Awareness event, led by Peer Recovery Coach Eddie Allen.

Presentations were given by Amanda Yocham, Program Manager at BHS/CYS Juvenile Justice Center; Susan Rothman, Founding Member of Cleveland School Remembers/Brady and Co-Chairman of Stop Suicide San Joaquin; Alexander Silva, Community Outreach Coordinator & Educator for Central Valley Gender Health & Wellness; and Eddie Allen, Peer Recovery Coach.

Attendees enjoyed refreshments, presentations, reflections and a balloon release to send messages to loved ones (balloons released were eco friendly).

Thank you everyone for attending!

Good Luck Marisol!

Peer Recovery Services had to say goodbye to one of our Lodi Peer Recovery Coaches Marisol Gonzalez on September 21.

Marisol started at the Wellness Centers as an intern in November 2022 and quickly became an essential part of the Lodi Wellness Center.

Marisol has accepted a new job with the City of Stockton to further her career. We wish you all the best and you will be truly missed!
