Four incredible people just graduated from Belknap County Recovery Court! One graduate called himself hardheaded and used that stubbornness to prove doubters wrong, graduating in just 16 months. Another said the road was long and bumpy, but she found her fighting spirit and took the reins back. A third worked full-time through the entire program while rebuilding her life from the inside out.

As one graduate put it: we are all worthy of a beautiful, peaceful life.

Congratulations to these four graduates on reaching commencement. Your next chapter starts now!

LACONIA — Scott Beaumont, Stacie Gentile, Alicia Mclean, and James Morin graduated from Belknap County Recovery Court Tuesday afternoon, completing a program that lasts about a year-and-a-half for most participants.

We’re proud to have Priscilla on our Board of Directors! 💜

We’re proud to have Priscilla on our Board of Directors! 💜

Meet Priscilla. 💜

These two photos tell a powerful story.

The woman on the left was living with substance use disorder, carrying burdens that many people never saw. The woman on the right is living proof that recovery is possible.

Recovery is not about perfection. It is about courage. It is about choosing to keep going, even on the difficult days. It is about finding support, learning new tools, rebuilding trust, and discovering that your story is not over.

Today, Priscilla's journey serves as a reminder that people can and do recover. Behind every recovery story is a person who was given a chance, a community that believed in them, and the strength to take one step at a time toward a different future.

If you are struggling, please know this: Your current chapter is not your final chapter.

There is hope.
There is help.
There is a path forward.

Thank you, Priscilla, for sharing your story and showing others what recovery can look like. 💜

Some good news to share 🎉 Friends of NH Drug Courts has received a Justice Grant from the New Hampshire Bar Foundation in support of our incentive grants program.

Here is what that means for the people we serve: a repair when the car breaks down, groceries on the table, a utility bill covered, the cost of job training met. These are the everyday moments where recovery is won or lost, and this grant helps us show up for them.

Thank you to the New Hampshire Bar Association for believing in the people working hardest to rebuild their lives.

Last Thursday, we gathered at The Common Man in Concord for our Annual Meeting, and what a night it was.

Manchester Mayor Jay Ruais delivered a keynote that stopped the room, sharing his own recovery story and why drug courts are so close to his heart. We presented the first-ever Bob Gasser Hope Award to Thomas Raffio of Northeast Delta Dental, honoring a partnership that has literally helped participants smile again. We hit our $30,000 Double the Hope Matching Challenge goal, meaning $6,000 in new resources for participants. And we celebrated 820 years of prison sentences that were never served, because 820 people chose recovery instead.

We also said a heartfelt thank you to outgoing Board President Tony Naro and welcomed Lara Saffo as our incoming president.
The best is still ahead. 💛
