Transitioning from hospital to home is a delicate process that deeply impacts people's health outcomes and experience of care. A well-managed transition can make all the difference in someone’s recovery and well-being. This requires a structured, multidisciplinary approach to ensure the process is smooth, safe, and effective, with people's human rights upheld and respected every step of the way. Families play an irreplaceable role in this journey. Their love and support provide a sense of security and stability, empowering their loved ones to transition with confidence. When families are involved, care becomes more personal, turning recovery into a holistic process that nurtures both health and emotional well-being.

If you want to know how the Resilience Bra is impacting patient comfort and quality, take a look at this testimonial. This is why we do what we do💙

Good health starts with common sense. Quality housing is key to quality of life.

At Cedars we believe in connection, recovery and healing for everyone. An essential part of this is building relationships with our staff, alumni, the people we serve, and like-minded organizations. Which is why we're especially proud to be part of the Betty Ford Foundation's Patient Care Network. Working together, we are able to change the story for generations to come. Relationships are a part of life, and healthy relationships are a gift of our recovery efforts. But often in early recovery it can be difficult to differentiate which relationships are aligned with our new way of life. Embracing healthy qualities more closely and consistently can lead to personal growth and satisfaction, making you and those around you happier. Similarly, distancing yourself from unhealthy behaviors can have the same positive effect. Actively changing these behaviors through awareness and thoughtful action is a valuable recovery process that yields significant emotional benefits.

We are excited to announce that we are bringing an adult support group option to a new setting! The healing qualities of “farm life," day by day, year by year, being surrounded by animals, nature and the cycle of life…..are medicine for the soul! They invade one’s being in ways that are indescribable. This is exactly why were are offering this unique program at the Smith Farmstead, which will be centered on the healing qualities of nature. This program is for a small group of no more than 12 adults who have experienced a significant loss. While anyone that fits that description may register, we do recognize that this specific program may not be best suited for those whose loss is very recent. Unlike therapy or discussion-centered support groups, each week will offer a different activity or modality to explore which may awaken inward personal reflections and expressions of grief while also providing opportunities for connection to others. Join as Center facilitators share expressive coping outlets which can be incorporated into everyday life. The cost for all three weeks is $45; preregistration is required. Call 610-222-4110 to register or you may complete a registration form here: https://lnkd.in/gbMqZwP...

How do people value professional deathcare services? What are families happy to do for themselves, and what do they want help with? How are funerals being reshaped by trends toward personalisation, simplification and DIY? Excited to announce that myself and the DeathTech Research Team have been awarded a new grant from the Australian Research Council, entitled "Do-It-Yourself Commemoration of the Dead" (DP250101054), starting in 2026. From the blurb: This project aims to investigate the emergence of contemporary do-it-yourself commemorative practices that are reshaping how people care for and mourn the dead in Australia. The impacts of these self-organised rituals that are increasingly occurring outside of traditional institutions are profoundly significant but poorly understood. Through a grounded interdisciplinary study, this research will produce critical insights and knowledge about how diverse groups are navigating choices at the end of life. Our work aims to benefit individuals, communities, professionals, and policymakers by empowering personal expression and advancing sustainability and governance associated with the care of the dead in Australia. More updates to come in 2026 - but great news to close out the year!
