Many men grow up without ever experiencing healthy manhood, healthy communication, emotional safety, or nurturing fatherhood. As a result, many fathers in recovery are trying to rebuild relationships with their children while still learning how to heal themselves.

Serenity Inns’ Rise & Restore Initiative was created to help men break generational cycles by focusing on both manhood and fatherhood. Rooted in recovery principles and concepts from the Nurturing Fathers Program, Rise & Restore teaches that nurturing fathers are developed through emotional growth, accountability, self-awareness, and healthy relationships.

Rise & Restore helps men:
- Understand the difference between power and nurturing leadership
- Learn healthy ways to express emotions without anger, violence, or shutting down
- Recognize how childhood experiences influence parenting and relationships
- Develop self-worth, self-discipline, and emotional responsibility
- Improve communication, listening, and conflict resolution skills
- Learn how to build trust and become emotionally present fathers
- Rise above destructive thinking and restore family relationships

At the core of Rise & Restore is one powerful belief: “A good father begins with becoming a healthy man.”

We invite community partners, counselors, recovery advocates, faith leaders, case managers, and organizations working with men in recovery to attend our upcoming Information Session and learn how Rise & Restore is helping fathers rebuild identity, purpose, leadership, and family legacy.

We are proud to share that a recent Milwaukee County audit identified Serenity Inns Inc. as a high-performing program within the Substance Use Disorder residential network. The findings reflect what we see every day—men rebuilding their lives through structure, support, and accountability. Key highlights include:

• 69.9% of clients discharged improved, significantly higher than the system average

• Highest client satisfaction score in the network (4.85 out of 5)

• Lower readmission rates, indicating stronger long-term recovery outcomes

• A program environment described by clients as safe, respectful, and transformative

Clients shared that Serenity Inns feels like “family,” where they are heard and supported in their growth and recovery journey. This recognition is not just about performance—it reflects our commitment to treating the whole person, addressing trauma, stability, and long-term recovery.

While we celebrate these outcomes, we remain focused on continuous improvement, including strengthening documentation practices and expanding housing pathways for those we serve.

Thank you to our staff, partners, and supporters who make this work possible every day. Together, we are building a model of recovery that works.

Forever Grateful to have Partners like Siebert Lutheran Foundation! Blessed to be a blessing

This morning I was angry on my drive. Instead of carrying that into the space, I prayed, meditated, and asked God to center me and allow me to be a blessing.

Today I had the opportunity to speak Holy Cross Lutheran Church about Serenity Inns and the work we are doing. What came out wasn’t rehearsed, it was passion, purpose, and gratitude for how recovery and faith continue to transform lives, including my own.

This work is personal. It is spiritual. And it is grounded in service

“A powerful, real-life story of struggle, loss, and redemption.
Read how Serenity Inns helped Shawn Kress rebuild his life after decades of addiction—and how he’s now giving back to others on their recovery journeys.”

At Serenity Inns, recovery is not a single program or moment in time. It is a connected ecosystem.

From first access through our Drop-In Clinic, to Residential Treatment, Transitional Living, and ongoing support through our Alumni House, each part of our work is intentionally designed to support men across the full recovery journey.

This ecosystem allows individuals to enter care where they are, receive the level of support they need, and remain connected as they move forward. Our focus is not only on sobriety, but on stability, housing, dignity, and long-term recovery.

The work does not always make headlines, but it changes lives every day and that impact matters.
