Gaudenzia

Gaudenzia recently hosted its annual “From Adversity to Hope” event in Philadelphia, convening community leaders, partners, and advocates to highlight the impact of recovery and the importance of expanding access to care.

Prior to the event, keynote speaker and national recovery advocate Darryl Strawberry, an eight-time Major League Baseball All-Star and four-time World Series Champion, visited two Gaudenzia programs—Riverview Wellness Village and the Diagnostic & Rehabilitation Center (DRC)—where he spent time with individuals in recovery. Through small-group engagement and personal connection, he shared his lived experience and reinforced a powerful message: recovery is possible.

These visits underscore the importance of community-based treatment, peer connection, and integrated care models that support individuals and families across the recovery journey—particularly as providers continue working to meet growing and increasingly complex behavioral health needs.

 

The 31st Annual Gaudenzia “Building a Brighter Tomorrow, Generation to Generation” Women and Children’s Conference will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at the Best Western Premier Central Hotel and Conference Center, 800 East Park Drive, Harrisburg, PA. Registration is scheduled to open by September 2, 2025.

The conference is a collaborative effort with the Chester County Department of Drug and Alcohol Services. The focus of the conference is addressing the significant issues around substance use disorder (SUD), women, pregnant women, and families.

Each year, the conference attracts a multi-disciplinary audience of more than 300 SUD treatment professionals, including doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, case managers, addictions counselors, and other professionals in the addictions field. The Gaudenzia Women and Children’s Conference is known across the region as the leading educational event for this specific demographic.

The conference flyer provides details for those interested in exhibiting or sponsoring this year’s event.
