Learning Together: Understanding Gambling Disorder

Our recent Thriving Mind South Florida Lunch & Learn featured Alex Walch Rojas from Playwise, who led an informative discussion on Gambling Disorder.

The session provided an opportunity to raise awareness about gambling-related challenges, better understand their impact on individuals and families, and recognize the importance of education, prevention, and access to support.

A special thank you to Alex for sharing valuable insights with our team! At Thriving Mind, we believe that continuous learning helps us better understand the challenges facing our community and strengthens our ability to support those we serve.

🦸‍♀️💥 Superheroes Take Over Thriving Mind! DC vs. Marvel! 🦸‍♂️

Who says superheroes only exist in the movies? Our Thriving Mind team brought some superhero spirit to the office with a fun DC vs. Marvel showdown! đź’Ą

We work hard every day to support our community, but we also believe in making time to laugh, have fun, and enjoy each other's company. Moments like these bring us closer together, strengthen our team, and remind us that a positive workplace is built on more than just hard work.

After all, even superheroes need a little fun! ❤️

🌟 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! đź’™

Interested in turning your passion for helping others into a career in peer support? đź’™

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.
