Faces of Recovery

We’re excited to launch Faces of Recovery, a campaign produced by our Staten Island Media Center that highlights the strength and resilience of Venture House members on their journey toward mental health recovery. Through powerful personal stories, this campaign shows how compassion and community can spark real change.

It’s been a busy month at Venture House, filled with connection, advocacy, and celebration. As mental health needs grow across New York, our members, staff, and supporters are out in the community, bringing hope and recovery directly to those who need it most.

We proudly participated in NYC Summer Streets on July 26 in Queens and Staten Island, bringing mental health resources and meaningful connection to local neighborhoods. We’re keeping the momentum going with upcoming events on August 16 in Manhattan and August 23 in Brooklyn and the Bronx. Stop by our outreach tables for free resources, giveaways, and to learn how Venture House supports mental wellness and recovery across New York City. Don’t miss a special live performance by our very own Ventura Band on August 16. Learn more

We had a great time connecting with local residents at the Staten Island Community Festival on Friday, July 25, where we shared resources and celebrated the strength of our Staten Island community. Staten Island Advance covered the event, check out the article www.silive.com.

On Friday, July 18, we had the honor of joining the NASDAQ Closing Bell Ceremony at the Nasdaq Market Site alongside NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. We celebrated the kickoff of 2025 Summer Streets a proud moment for our entire community! Additionally, State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. toured our Queens location exploring our programs and how we serve communities across his 15th District in Queens .

Our Open House at Venture House Bronx on July 17 was a wonderful opportunity to welcome community members, share our mission, and highlight the support we provide to individuals living with mental health conditions. Thank you to everyone who joined us and explored how they can get involved.

We concluded July with a fun-filled Clubhouse trip to Dorney Park on July 26. A well-deserved day of connection, laughter, and joy that reminded us of the importance of recreation in recovery and community building.

Stay tuned for more updates and follow us on Instagram @VentureHouseNYC to see how we’re building recovery and community across all five boroughs!
