New Vitae Wellness and Recovery Leaders Emphasize Team Building and Share Holiday Spirit

December 21, 2016

On Tuesday, 12/13/16, President and CEO Judith Yanacek hosted a holiday team building event for members of New Vitae Wellness and Recovery's executive leadership.  Participants were paired together and asked to plan and build gingerbread houses, to be judged by residents of Mount Trexler Manor.  The activity encouraged creative thinking and problem solving while celebrating the joy of the holiday season.

Residents identified Kathleen Leonard and Toby Tarquin-Stackhouse as the first place winners and Dr. Thomas Haworth and J. Todd Barlow as second place winners. The team members had fun celebrating and strengthening their relationships while focusing on goals for 2017.

"I really appreciated the personal attention.  My addiction centered on trauma, and this was the first group that recognized that and validated my feelings.  I will be forever grateful."
