This week, ARCHWAY ACADEMY, located in the sunny heart of Houston, graduated 18 seniors in a beautiful outdoor ceremony that was filled with pride, excitement, and happy tears. During this event, the ambience of success, hope, and gratitude was more palpable than ever. Archway Academy opened its doors in 2003, and it is the largest recovery high school in the country, currently mentoring 16 new recovery schools throughout the nation. The individual educational needs of teens recovering from substance use disorder are delivered with care, compassion, respect and vigor.

“While the pandemic is not over, we continue to have a positive attitude about the situation. It is part of who we are. Times like these are certainly difficult for everyone, but we believe our students are well equipped to handle them because of the hard work they have already put into their recovery efforts. Most people will tell you that any path to recovery is paved with silver linings. We often teach the kids to ‘look for the lesson’ in times of hardship, and this pandemic is no different. We fully expect to emerge stronger, healthier, and humbler on the other side. Your prayers for our students and their families are very much appreciated. Thank you for your continued support of Archway. We simply would not exist without generous community partners like Spindletop. Your support saves lives, and we are forever grateful for your friendship.” – Brooke Hudson, Development Consultant, Archway Academy

COMPASSION
•
If someone shows kindness, caring and a willingness to help others, they are showing COMPASSION.
•
This is a word for a very positive emotion that has to do with being thoughtful and decent. Giving to a charity takes compassion. When you have compassion, you are putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and really trying to understand what they need.
•
Anytime a disaster happens such as a hurricane or earthquake we find compassion for those who have suffered loss. When children grow up in an underserved community, we find compassion to help them. When you feel compassion for someone, you really want to volunteer your time and share your resources in helping others.
•
Compassion is the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something that makes a difference in a positive way.

“A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.” – William Arthur Ward. Spindletop’s mission is to support children across our community. In celebration of National Smile Day this Sunday, May 31st, we recognize the smiles of children across the world in today’s photos.
•
•
Smiles are contagious and can not only elevate your own mood, but also anyone around you. The act of smiling welcomes friendship, compassion and positive thinking. Take a moment each day to make others smile – you can brighten someone’s day and spread kindness and happiness. •

In honor of National Mental Health Awareness Month

In honor of National Mental Health Awareness Month, today we highlight Palmer Drug Abuse Program. PDAP was formed in 1971 to provide a support program focused on recovery for teens dealing with addiction. Through acceptance, love and kindness, PDAP offers the most effective prevention and recovery program helping young people and their families recover from the devastating effects of drug and alcohol abuse. Over its 45-year history, PDAP has positively affected more than 1 million youth in Greater Houston and nationally.

•
Due to COVID-19, the restrictions on conversing with those outside of one’s household can cause a high level of anxiety among not only those in their recovery journey, but everyone in our community. An important component of PDAP is the peer to peer support. As you’ll see pictured, the staff of PDAP has been focusing their time to provide resources to help these dedicated teens stay positive, active and in good physical and mental health.
