Community Assessment & Treatment Services (CATS) is hosting a health and wellness fair this Thursday, August 19th at 11 a.m.

relink.org along with many other addiction recovery, basic needs, and health care facilities will be there to support the individuals and their families in this community.

Once a month, along with Thrive Peer Support, relink.org sets up shop at CATS to serve the community, and this outreach event is going to be even bigger than usual at this location! We are thankful that Robert Newman invited us to join in on what is sure to be a great event.

August is Overdose Awareness Month, and the 31st is National Overdose Awareness Day. relink.org is remembering those who have lost their battle with addiction. It is truly an honor to work every day with individuals and families through the process of recovery and to find them the resources they need to be successful in this journey. Recovery from Substance Use Disorder takes strength and courage that the average person would not believe, and the families witnessing the process endure unbelievable pain.

This disease claims thousands of lives every year, and it is our goal to make resources as accessible as possible to individuals with Substance Use Disorder to inspire change before it is too late. To honor the lives lost and bring awareness to the disease, relink.org will attend the Steps of Change / Overdose Awareness Day event held by OhioCAN (Change Addiction Now). Visit relink.org and dozens of organizations at the Pavilion in Cuyahoga Falls on Tuesday August 31st starting at 5:30 p.m.

At its inception in 2017, the goal for relink.org was to develop a user friendly database of resources for those in need. It started with an extensive list of addiction recovery related organizations and providers, and now spans across a variety of various needs that individuals or families, who have fallen on hard times, may find themselves searching for. As we are ever-growing and listening to the needs of our users, we teamed up with leaders at St. Ambrose Church who have been serving one particular area of the near westside of Cleveland during their outreach events.

Father Bob Stec and his team of dedicated Parishioners have long recognized the need for change and support in this neighborhood, often referred to as 'Clark-Fulton' or 'The Stockyards.' It is this need that drove the group to collaborate with relink.org to create a 'sub-portal' that is dedicated to this neighborhood and the people who call it home. Residents of this area are now able to visit onehopeNEO.com and connect with their neighbors, start conversations and find resources.
