Giving back is part of moving forward.

Yesterday, Turning Point volunteered at the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, lending a hand to help support our neighbors in need.

Community service is an opportunity to build connections, find purpose, and make a positive difference. We’re proud of our participants for showing up and giving back!

Thank you to the Foodbank for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to be part of your mission. Together, we can make a difference. 🫶

As National Recovery Month comes to a close, our support continues. 💜

Each Turning Point participant received a journal by Dr. Nicole Labor, the “Addiction Assassin,” along with personal messages of hope and encouragement from Summit County Court of Common Pleas employees, a reminder that an entire community is cheering them on.

Thank you to everyone who shared kind words. Your messages remind our participants that change is possible and no one walks this journey alone.

Yesterday, Judge Joy Malek Oldfield
hosted a brown bag luncheon for Summit County Court of Common Pleas employees
in celebration of National Recovery Month!

During the luncheon, employees enjoyed an exhilarating game of Kahoot, three lucky winners taking home Turning Point tumblers and a Dr. Labor book! Attendees also took time to write letters of encouragement to active participants of the Turning Point Program and hear from retired Cuyahoga County Judge Bill McGinty, who shared insights from his lifetime of work in recovery.

It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate recovery, community and second chances!

Today, we proudly celebrated TEN graduates whose courage, perseverance and hard work remind us that recovery is possible and lives truly can change.

We also witnessed a beautiful full-circle moment as Turning Point alumnus Kenny Lambert shared his story and had his cases officially sealed by Judge Joy Malek Oldfield!

We were honored to have graduates’ arresting officers from the Akron Police Department join the celebration, a powerful reminder of what can happen when accountability, opportunity and recovery come together.

Congratulations to our graduates and Kenny! We are incredibly proud of you all. Graduates, your Turning Point journey doesn’t end here! Stay connected by joining the Summit County Turning Point Program Alumni Group!

The Turning Point Recovery Wall is filled with inspiration for National Recovery Month! Judge Joy Malek Oldfield challenged participants to set a goal and push themselves this month. Starting GED classes, helping someone who’s struggling, getting active, and spending more time with family were just a few of their inspiring responses.

Big goals. Small steps. A whole lot of hope. That’s Turning Point!

What’s one thing YOU will challenge yourself to do this month? 👇
