Alvis Beacon: Will you take a minute to encourage a person in treatment?

Thanks to you, Alvis is turning lives around

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year to celebrate and thank all of the individuals, organizations, corporations, communities, and others who support the work of Alvis year-round.

Thank you for believing that a person's potential is more important than their past. Y ou are the key that allows us to turn lives around!

From all of us at Alvis, wishing you a happy and joyous Thanksgiving!

Celebrating the caring staff at Alvis

Did you know that November is National Caregivers Month? While not traditional caregivers, many of the staff at Alvis are dedicated to ensuring our clients are learning new skills and habits that will help them live up to their highest potential. In that spirit, we would like to acknowledge and thank all of the dedicated staff who care for Alvis clients each and every day.

Our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) work with consumers who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities to help them create a life that is as independent as possible. Our Community Reentry Specialists (CRSs) work with individuals with justice involvement to help them successfully return to the community and to their families. Other staff giving care at Alvis include treatment professionals who help clients to overcome addiction and counselors who work with children to overcome trauma. In addition, many of our clients are fortunate to have relatives and others who are caring for their children while they are in treatment at Alvis.

To all who give care, at Alvis as well as those in our community as a whole, we simply cannot say it enough: Thank you so much for all that you do and Happy National Caregivers Month!

Giving Tuesday is less than a week away!

This year, we need your help to #RewriteTheStory for the children, young adults, women and men we serve.

The generous financial support that makes our work possible is so needed and always much appreciated.

But this year, we're asking you to support our clients in another way, too - with personal notes of encouragement . It means the world to our clients to hear things like, "I believe in second chances and I believe in you," or "I know you've got the potential to succeed." You can also share a story about a hardship you've overcome , which helps our clients to know they aren't the only people who struggle.

Click here to send a note of encouragement to a client. You can also post on social media using the hashtags: #180degreeimpact and/or #RewriteTheStory , or send a note "snail mail" to 2100 Stella Court, Columbus, OH 43215, Attention: Development & Communications.

This #GivingTuesday, give back, join us, and help

#RewriteTheStory!
