I hate doing this kind of thing but itā€™s my birthday, so if you follow me on here and youā€™ve ever laughed at something Iā€™ve tweeted out, itā€™d mean a lot to me if you gave $5 or $10 to @preventionpp today. Theyā€™re a great org that needs more support. ppponline.org/donate

PPP staff are talking about NY's resolutions disappointment people experience if they have a setback. Nicky, case manager and person in recovery, wants you to know that it's ok to slip up on the road to recovery. "It's not that you fell, it's in how you pick yourself back up."

As we embark into 2025, you might have set resolutions for the new year. It's wonderful to articulate our intentions & work towards goals! But remember, for most people, change doesn't happen all at once. šŸ§µ

Rather, progress happens in positive, long-term changes reinforced by community support, evidence-backed treatment, and nonjudgmental care. Setbacks are normal, so if you slip up, try not to sink into shame or despair. šŸ§µ

Other YouTubers have said in their videos Prevention Point does not allow cameras. They do. You just have to respect people. My fav BTS moment: the outreach team wasn't "happy" about going out with media because, in the past, the media didn't respect their clients. They didn't know much about us, so they thought we'd be like the rest, but an hour in, the team stopped us to say thanks. They said we restored their faith in media and are grateful for how we treated their homeless friends.
