As today is 'Black Balloon Day', I can't help but be drawn back to the core of why I chose this path. It's not just a career for me; it's a mission born out of personal experience and a deep-seated conviction. My journey into the realm of talent acquisition in the recovery field stems from a deeply personal place – my own journey of recovery and mental health challenges. It was a path filled with twists and turns, challenges and triumphs, but above all, it was a journey that transformed me in profound ways. In the midst of my own struggles, I found solace and support in the recovery community. It was there that I discovered the power of empathy, understanding, and second chances. Through the compassion of others and the resilience within myself, I emerged stronger and more determined than ever before. As I navigated through my own recovery, I realized that I wanted to give back in a meaningful way. I wanted to be a beacon of hope for others who were walking a similar path, struggling to find their way forward. And that's when I discovered the intersection of my personal journey and professional calling – recruitment in the recovery field. Working in talent acquisition within the recovery field allows me to channel my own experiences into something purposeful and impactful. It's not just about filling positions or meeting quotas; it's about connecting individuals with opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation. It's about being a catalyst for change and a source of support for those who are bravely rebuilding their lives. Every candidate I encounter isn't just a resume; they're a person with a story, a journey, and a potential for greatness. And every placement isn't just a job; it's a stepping stone towards a brighter, more hopeful future. That's the essence of my why – to be a guiding light for others, just as others were for me. Through my work in recruitment within the recovery field, I strive to break down barriers, challenge stigma, and foster a culture of inclusion and support. I aim to create pathways for individuals to not only find employment but also to rediscover their sense of purpose, dignity, and self-worth. In the end, my journey from personal struggle to professional mission has taught me that our greatest challenges can become our greatest strengths. And in the recovery field of recruitment, I've found a way to turn my own pain into purpose, my own darkness into light. And for that, I am endlessly grateful.
On March 6th, across the United States families and loved ones remember and celebrate the lives lost to overdose. Let's honor their memory with open conversations, support, and meaningful action. #BlackBalloonDay #OverdoseAwareness

For us, assistance for mass violence victims/survivors has to be comprehensive and effective to mitigate the short-term trauma and generational harm that results from atrocity—effects that are often compounded in marginalized and underserved communities. We have a duty to get victims/survivors the help that they truly need. Thus, we see "victim assistance" as direct, meaningful help that encompasses basic human needs, health and wellness needs, accessibility, and long-term support.

Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, when we shine a spotlight on elder abuse - one of the most insidious forms of ageism. Older people have the right to safety, dignity, and autonomy and to be treated with respect, but ageist attitudes in our society may lead to their exclusion and underestimation. Also this week, Office for Ageing Well have launched their annual Elder Abuse Prevention Community Awareness Campaign, which highlights that ageism can lead to abuse, mistreatment and neglect. This year they are asking South Australians to check how we think and speak about ageing and older people.

These are the stories of those impacted by youth violence and the extreme sentencing of youth who have found transformative healing through restorative justice. Survivors. Families. Communities. Condemned children.

Every child deserves a safe and happy childhood. Each year, one billion boys and girls are victims of violence, robbing them of their innocence and leaving lifelong scars. Violence erodes every investment that families, communities and governments make in children, from their education to their mental and physical health. Damaging the childhoods of today and societies of tomorrow. But solutions exist, and we are the first generation with the power, and knowledge, to ensure every child is protected. This November, the first-ever Global Ministerial Conference on Ending Violence Against Children takes place. A responsibility and opportunity to deliver change. On behalf of the one billion children affected by violence, we urgently call on world leaders to participate and pledge actions to keep every child safe. Childhood is in our hands. The power to act is now in yours. Read more about the campaign and check out how you can make a difference here: https://lnkd.in/d-39n2cS
