SUMMARY:Lester Ross Memorial and Burial
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the burial of 50 formerly homeless individuals and continue the legacy of light started by the late Michael Hinson of SELF Inc. \nLester Ross was well-known in the homeless community for his infectious smile and ability to apologize for being a “hoot” as described by the late Michael Hinson. Ross passed away from COVID-19 in the fall of 2020 and it was learned that his cremains were left unclaimed in the city morgue. \nThe late Michael Hinson of SELF Inc. and Mel Wells from ODAAT spearheaded efforts to host a memorial and bury Ross’s cremains. In this process\, it was learned there were unclaimed cremains of other homeless and formerly homeless men and women. \nHence\, the Lester Ross Memorial Fund was born to honor Ross and to provide dignified burials for others. There have been 123 burials to this date and there will be 50 more cremains laid to rest with their names and markers at this year’s burial.

SUMMARY:AATOD Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence (AATOD) Conference will be held in Philadelphia at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown from Oct. 4-8. The 2025 conference theme is “The Evolving Field of Opioid Treatment.” \nOur intent is to educate and promote acceptance and integration of MAT options by patients\, families\, clinicians\, the medical system\, judicial systems\, government\, policy makers\, social service administrations\, and the general public. We will disseminate innovative\, evidence-based initiatives and treatment techniques to better serve patients and providers\, improve program development and administration\, promote integration across the continuum of care\, and enhance patient outcomes to assist communities in developing an effective response to this crisis. \nConference Objectives\nBy the end of the conference\, we will: \n\nEvaluate the rapidly changing nature and the severity of the opioid epidemic and associated outcomes and develop recommendations to improve the delivery of care in various populations based on evidence-based practices.\nInterpret emerging trends and regulatory and policy changes to determine their effects on clinical practice.\nDiscuss peer support and peer-run programs in treating opioid use disorder to improve patient outcomes.\nReview current evidence addressing the opioid epidemic and its implications for patients\, clinicians\, administrators\, and policy makers by identifying the most effective interventions.\nDisseminate innovative approaches\, referral pathways\, and partnerships designed to treat emerging needs of patients with opioid use disorder\, address pivotal issues in health\, and improve patient outcomes by providing examples of effective methods and how to implement them.\n\nThe AATOD Conference is the largest gathering of the opioid treatment community. This conference brings innovative people together in a diverse array of forums and workshops. Hot Topic Roundtable discussions\, inspirational plenary sessions\, tours of programs\, and exhibit booths with the latest technologies\, science\, and products that support our work are just a few of the activities that surely stimulated participant discussion\, debate\, and innovative ideas to share with our respective areas of work\, our communities\, and our treatment programs nationwide.

SUMMARY:Mural Arts Dedication: 'Embracing the Light'
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the dedication of artist James Burns’ “Embracing the Light\,” a community-driven mural project at St.\nChristopher’s Hospital for Children that raises awareness about suicide prevention and mental health resources. \nDeveloped through mindful writing workshops and a performance supported by First Person Arts\, the project included input from a committed steering committee and hundreds of participants during public paint days at the hospital. \nThe mural enhances St. Christopher’s legacy of using art to uplift patients\, families\, and staff. Burns\, who has spent over a decade using art to spark conversations about suicide prevention\, designed a piece that promotes dialogue and reduces stigma. This mural not only transforms the hospital’s exterior but also invites essential conversations about mental health\, especially for young people and their families. \nIf you or a loved one is in crisis\, call or text 988.

SUMMARY:Recovery Walks! 2025
DESCRIPTION:September is National Recovery Month\, allowing us to increase public awareness about the power of recovery. We celebrate victory over addiction\, promote evidence-based treatment and recovery practices\, and honor the strong\, proud recovery community and the service providers and communities who work with us towards our vision of “Transforming Lives Through Sustained Recovery!” \nReports of drug overdoses and an alarming number of deaths remain at the forefront of discussions about addiction\, which experts say is a grim reality of the current nationwide crisis. \nBut it can overshadow the fact that nearly three in four people who struggle with substance use survive and go on to live in recovery\, according to national estimates. \nThousands of people are expected to gather Sept. 20 in Philadelphia’s Navy Yard to recognize those in addiction recovery during PRO-ACT’s annual Recovery Walks! event.
