Crestwood Employee Center
At Crestwood, an important Pillar of Recovery is Meaningful Roles. We all have multiple roles we fill, both personal and professional. These roles provide opportunities to serve others, cultivate relationships, share our gifts and talents, and glean a deeper understanding of ourselves. As part of our Crestwood family, we share an essential role of supporting the people we serve on their recovery journeys. Whether a Service Coordinator, Recovery Coach, CNA, LVN, Peer Support Specialist, Dietary Aide, Housekeeper, or Program Director, we each have a meaningful role to play in the lives of those we serve. And those we serve have meaningful roles as well! From their personal relationships to their vocation to having lived experience, there are many meaningful roles that make up different facets of each individual’s life. It is in these roles that we find part of our purpose, the spark inside each of us that says we are needed and we can make a difference. So think of the many roles you have – and feel a deep sense of fulfillment knowing you are unique, valued, and appreciated for all you do and all you are!
The month of September is a time to rally our communities and speak out about suicide. Crestwood is proud to be sponsoring and walking in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s “Out of the Darkness” Community Walks in Santa Barbara on September 28 and in Sacramento on October 19. AFSP has resources available on their website. If you or someone you know is having thoughts about suicide, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or chat 988 online. There is help available and there is always hope.
The first day of Fall is September 22. As we embrace the start of a new season, it’s a perfect opportunity to reset and refresh! Try some of the ideas below as we transition to Autumn.
- Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice: Indulge in a decadent pumpkin spice latte or other seasonal specialty.
- Autumn Aroma: Light a Fall-inspired candle and let the scent sweeten your home as you relax in the evening.
- That Fall Feeling: Add a few seasonal touches to your décor to bring the warmth of Autumn into your home.
- Twilight Stroll: Take an early evening stroll through your neighborhood or a nearby park and admire the brilliant color changes that Autumn brings.
- Turn a New Page: Visit your local library and choose a book to cozy up with this Fall. Don’t forget a steaming cup of apple cider!
- Game Night Gathering: Host a few friends and neighbors for an evening of fun playing board and card games. Serve this simple to make apple cobbler for dessert!
