🌟 Celebrating 17 Years of Dedication, Compassion, and Peer Support! 🌟

Please join us in congratulating Agnes Horn of Passageway Residence, recipient of Thriving Mind South Florida’s 1st Quarter FY 2026-2027 Distinguished Peer Achievement Award! 👏💙

For more than 17 years, Agnes has been making a difference in the lives of individuals on their recovery journeys, offering encouragement, support, and hope every step of the way. This year, she reached another exciting milestone by earning her Peer Certification through the Florida Certification Board!

When asked what makes Agnes so special, her colleagues and the individuals she serves shared a simple but powerful message: “Agnes is always willing to help.” ❤️

Perhaps what says the most about Agnes is how she refers to the individuals she supports — “the people she loves.” That genuine compassion is what makes peer support so meaningful!

Congratulations, Agnes! Thank you for your incredible dedication, your caring heart, and the difference you continue to make in our community! 💙

Interested in turning your passion for helping others into a career in peer support? 💙

That's exactly what participants explored during a recent Peer Orientation at New Hope CORPS! Isabella Lopez from Thriving Mind South Florida joined Miami Recovery Project and New Hope to share valuable information about becoming a Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (CRPS).

The session was a great opportunity to learn about the certification process, ask questions, and connect with others interested in making a difference through peer support.

A big thank you to New Hope for hosting and to everyone who participated! We're excited to see these opportunities continue as more individuals explore the rewarding field of peer support.

💙 Sometimes, one more conversation can make all the difference.

Thriving Mind was honored to be invited to ONE MORE CONVERSATION, an evening focused on suicide prevention awareness and the power of human connection, hosted by the DRT Brain Love Foundation, Udonis Haslem Foundation, and United Way Broward.

Eric Robinson, Thriving Mind Peer Victim Advocate Specialist, participated in this meaningful gathering centered on presence, empathy, hope, and community.

In a world where so much of our interaction happens through screens and technology, the evening offered an important reminder: taking the time to listen, connect, and be present for one another matters. A conversation can create connection. Connection can create hope. And hope can save lives.

Thank you to the organizations and community partners who came together to keep the conversation going and remind people that they are seen, heard, and valued. 💙

Thriving Mind’s Alisa Surenskaya recently attended the 2026 Florida Children and Families Summit, joining professionals, leaders and community partners from across Florida for three days of learning, collaboration and connection.

There were also some special moments of celebration! 💙 Gilda Farradaz with DCF Community Development was recognized in honor of her retirement—and, since it was also her birthday, colleagues from Circuits 11 and 16 joined together to sing “Happy Birthday.” 🎂

Alisa also had the opportunity to connect with Carmen Gomez-Abreu, LCSW, Behavioral Health Consultant Supervisor with DCF SAMH, and Nabila Conception, Behavioral Health Consultant.

✈️🌎 All aboard for a Journey Through the System of Care!

Our latest Thriving Mind Lunch & Learn, courtesy of our System of Care team, was informative, engaging, fun—and definitely unforgettable!

The team took us on a journey around the world to learn about the many departments and programs that make up our System of Care. Each department represented a different country, complete with themed outfits and decorations, while our “flight” took us from one destination to the next. 🌍🧳

It was a creative and fun way to learn more about how all the different pieces of our system connect and work together to support individuals, children, families, and our community.

A huge thank you to our System of Care team and everyone who helped make this Lunch & Learn such a memorable trip! ✈️💙

💜 As Suicide Prevention Month comes to a close, the message continues: You matter. Your life has value. And hope is always worth holding onto.

Throughout the month, our Thriving Mind team, Board, Providers, and community partners found simple but meaningful ways to share that message—from socks carrying words of hope and encouragement to mirrors reminding us to see our own worth. 💜

Taking care of our mental health matters. Check in with yourself. Check in with the people around you. Make time for rest, connection and the things that help you feel grounded. And remember, asking for help is a sign of strength.

Suicide prevention isn’t just a message for one month—it’s about creating a community where people feel seen, valued, supported and reminded that they are never alone.

You are important. You are worthy. You matter. 💜
