We are thrilled to announce Drew Robinson as one of our speakers for The Exchange. You do not want to miss his powerful story of hope. Drew Robinson is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) player, mental health advocate, and professional speaker. Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, Drew was drafted by the Texas Rangers out of high school and went on to play parts of 12 seasons with the Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, and San Francisco Giants organizations. In 2020, Drew miraculously survived a suicide attempt resulting in a new-found purpose of helping others and destigmatizing mental health. Leveraging his tagline, Strength Isn’t Always Physical, Drew is dedicated to sharing his journey and showcasing vulnerability to prevent suicide and promote mental health care. Drew currently works in the mental health & wellness department with the San Francisco Giants where he advocates for player mental health and peer-to-peer support. Drew resides in Las Vegas with his service dog, Ellie.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting our 13th Women’s Luncheon, where the conversation was led by Brittany Beispel, LCSW focused on female empowerment in the field—how women can lift up and support one another, while also prioritizing self-care. It was truly inspiring to see such meaningful exchanges as attendees shared their experiences and insights on building strong networks and nurturing their own well-being. A heartfelt thank you to our talented executive chef, Nichole Daniello, for providing a delicious and nourishing meal that enhanced the afternoon’s powerful conversations. If you’d like to join us for the next luncheon, please reach out to Scott Apgar [email protected]. We’d love to have you with us!

Recovery is not about what you give, but what you gain. Thank you, Fox 5 (WNYW-TV New York), for having our CEO and Founder, Zac C., on the show. At one point, when Antwan Lewis realized Zac was being vulnerable, he leaned in closer—and that is what our work is all about: real, authentic connection. Zac talks about our approach to recovery from substance use and mental health disorders. Zac also discusses our recent acquisition of MANUAL and how it will help expand our reach to college campuses. https://lnkd.in/efpjk3DT

Our Chief Medical Officer, Michael A. McCormick, D.O. was featured on this week's episode of The Sober Strength Podcast. Dr. McCormick has decades of experience in the medical field and is also in recovery himself. He offers an in-depth exploration of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), shedding light on its proven effectiveness and debunking common misconceptions. He reveals how medications like naltrexone are revolutionizing recovery outcomes and discusses the profound potential of MAT to bring healing and hope to individuals—and help restore the health of our nation.
