Addiction can impact anybody–whether it's your co-worker, neighbor or loved one. Starting pro-active conversations about addiction challenges can be difficult to do though. 

The past holiday season is all but a faint memory of family, friends and wonderful meals. But for many children, this holiday season was a hurtful reminder of the challenging times that broken families face during the joyous season.

Today, we had the incredible honor of recognizing and awarding 98 of our dedicated staff members for their longevity and their commitment to the WellLife Network mission. Each individual has worked for the agency 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years. Collectively, they have brought more than 1,000 years of dedicated service, business insight, expertise, care and professionalism to our programs across New York City and Long Island.  

Sometimes it takes individuals in need to see the need in others. 

That is what participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities who attend WellLife Network's Day Habilitation programs found out when they raised money to provide holiday meals for less fortunate families on Long Island. 

Today, we had the privilege of hosting WellLife Network’s annual Veterans Day Appreciation Breakfast—in honor of all the veterans who have defended our country, our values and our liberty.

“We wouldn’t be here without our veterans”, said Alan Weinstock, CEO of WellLife Network, as he awarded each veteran with an honorary pin in recognition of their service, “so it’s fitting that we not just recognize and honor our veterans today, but each and every day.”

In the aftermath of a crisis, whether it's a hurricane or mass shooting, survivors are faced with severe emotional trauma and loss. In the midst of a crisis though, finding access to mental health professionals and starting the journey toward recovery can be overwhelming and expensive.

On May 18th, WellLife Network welcomed more than 120 guests to its inaugural Benefit Dinner at Mutual of America headquarters in Manhattan. Bill Ritter, WABC News anchor, was the evening’s special guest and host as we rallied together to raise more than $200,000 for individuals and families faced with disabilities, mental health challenges and addiction.
