Cal Wellness recognizes the profound importance of the Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's decision to take a #publichealth approach to #gunviolence prevention and call for increased #research funding to help us better understand and prevent gun violence in communities across California and the U.S., including community violence interventions that use evidence-informed strategies to reduce violence. We applaud this progress and urge decisionmakers to partner with people whose lives are affected by gun violence — and to surface solutions and support policies that will save lives. During this Gun Violence Prevention Month, we celebrate this especially momentous decision. Cal Wellness will continue to work with innovative organizations such as Hope and Heal Fund, The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention, Urban Peace Institute, YouthAlive!, Black and Brown Collective, Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Advance Peace, Brotherhood Unified for Independent Leadership Through Discipline (BUILD) Program, and others to get closer to making it possible for everyone to live in safe, healthy communities free from gun violence. https://lnkd.in/gy8wQb-u

Talent Acquisition 👩🏻💻| Summit Behavioral Health | Mental Health Advocate 🌻| Connecting Passionate Professionals with Purposeful Opportunities
As today is 'Black Balloon Day', I can't help but be drawn back to the core of why I chose this path. It's not just a career for me; it's a mission born out of personal experience and a deep-seated conviction. My journey into the realm of talent acquisition in the recovery field stems from a deeply personal place – my own journey of recovery and mental health challenges. It was a path filled with twists and turns, challenges and triumphs, but above all, it was a journey that transformed me in profound ways. In the midst of my own struggles, I found solace and support in the recovery community. It was there that I discovered the power of empathy, understanding, and second chances. Through the compassion of others and the resilience within myself, I emerged stronger and more determined than ever before. As I navigated through my own recovery, I realized that I wanted to give back in a meaningful way. I wanted to be a beacon of hope for others who were walking a similar path, struggling to find their way forward. And that's when I discovered the intersection of my personal journey and professional calling – recruitment in the recovery field. Working in talent acquisition within the recovery field allows me to channel my own experiences into something purposeful and impactful. It's not just about filling positions or meeting quotas; it's about connecting individuals with opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation. It's about being a catalyst for change and a source of support for those who are bravely rebuilding their lives. Every candidate I encounter isn't just a resume; they're a person with a story, a journey, and a potential for greatness. And every placement isn't just a job; it's a stepping stone towards a brighter, more hopeful future. That's the essence of my why – to be a guiding light for others, just as others were for me. Through my work in recruitment within the recovery field, I strive to break down barriers, challenge stigma, and foster a culture of inclusion and support. I aim to create pathways for individuals to not only find employment but also to rediscover their sense of purpose, dignity, and self-worth. In the end, my journey from personal struggle to professional mission has taught me that our greatest challenges can become our greatest strengths. And in the recovery field of recruitment, I've found a way to turn my own pain into purpose, my own darkness into light. And for that, I am endlessly grateful.
On March 6th, across the United States families and loved ones remember and celebrate the lives lost to overdose. Let's honor their memory with open conversations, support, and meaningful action. #BlackBalloonDay #OverdoseAwareness
