By Belinda Morales, Program Assistant, Guara Bi Puerto Rico
Guara Bi was honored to host Dr. Miriam Delphin-Rittmon, Administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), at our New Guara Bi PPW program in Puerto Rico. Dr. Delphin-Rittmon, a distinguished leader in mental health, substance abuse prevention, and community wellness, visited alongside WestCare CEO Mr. Ken Ortbals, COO Mr. Cristian Duarte, and members of the Guara Bi team.
During the visit, Dr. Delphin-Rittmon highlighted the transformative impact of our work, particularly in supporting pregnant and postpartum women on their journey to recovery. Her focus on mental health and substance abuse prevention resonated deeply with our mission and the lives we aim to transform.
A particularly moving moment came when Dr. Delphin-Rittmon recognized one of our participants for her courage, effort, and dedication to her recovery journey. This heartfelt acknowledgment served as a powerful reminder of the importance of our work and the resilience of those we serve.
This visit was not just an affirmation of our efforts but also a source of renewed inspiration to continue fulfilling our mission with unwavering dedication.
