PRC September Newsletter
Message from the HR and Quality Assurance Manager
Dear PRC Family,
As September begins, we are reminded that this season symbolizes new beginnings. For many, it marks the start of new school routines, community gatherings, and the cool, colorful days of fall. At PRC, we see this month as a chance to reaffirm our dedication to creating a safe, supportive, and caring environment for everyone we serve.
We also want to honor Labor Day this September, which reminds us of the value of hard work and dedication. We are truly thankful to our staff for their compassion, resilience, and steadfast commitment to providing high-quality care every day.
Let’s welcome September with gratitude, energy, and joy by working together to make this month one of growth, wellness, and connection.

PRC Wellness Corner
This month's wellness blog explores "Finding Balance in a Busy Season." As schedules ramp up and routines change, it’s essential to prioritize mental health, self-care, and moments of calm. Find practical tips for caregivers, families, and staff on how to stay centered and energized this September.
Recovery Resource of the Month
September is National Recovery Month, and one of the best ways to stay motivated is by hearing from others about their own journeys. We recommend watching our YouTube Pick: Atomic Habits: How to Get 1% Better Every Day - James Clear (Author of Atomic Habits). This brief talk explains how small daily changes, like consistent sleep, hydration, or short walks, can lead to lasting transformation. It’s a helpful reminder that recovery happens one step at a time.
