OUR VISION The vision of Above and Beyond is to build an individualized treatment experience that is available to anyone in need regardless of their economic status. Our clients and clinicians create therapeutic alliances that design and execute personalized programs of recovery that co-exist side-by-side with personal development and growth goals. We believe that recovery is a process that requires meeting individuals where they are as well as addressing their environmental life circumstances such as: education, employment readiness, interpersonal relationships, and social reintegrative abilities and activities.

ABOUT AN EVENING “REDEFINING RECOVERY” Though the Above and Beyond community cannot come together in-person due to social distancing, we have reimagined our annual signature fundraising event, "Redefining Recovery" One Night Gala, which will take place from the comfort of our supporters' own homes as we go virtual on November 6, 2020 — a virtual evening of inspiring stories as we honor our resilient graduates and celebrate our loyal supporters. The health and safety of the Behavioral Health community remains our top priority, and during the shelter-in-place, Above and Beyond doors have remained open. As such, we have made the difficult decision to forego the 2020 in-person event, and while we are disappointed, our shared vision of a world without homelessness, addiction and mental health must move forward. If we take our foot off the pedal now, there will be ripple effects in our progress toward treatment – and for the sake of those impacted by homelessness and addiction, we cannot let that happen. Although we will not gather at the fabulous Drake Hotel Gold Coast Ballroom this year, we invite you to please join us on Friday, November 6, 2020 for our virtual "Redefining Recovery" One Night Gala. We know this crisis goes beyond health risks and that families are facing financial uncertainty in these turbulent times, and we are asking for support only from those who can. Sponsorship opportunities are now available, and whether or not you are planning on participating in the virtual event, we ask you to stand with us now: invest in our patients lives, help us bring renowned author and speaker, Johann Hari to our stage; hear from our founder; and testimonials from patients who have overcome the scourge of addiction and homelessness. We need your generosity in 2020 now more than ever during this exceedingly difficult period in time. Johann Hari is the author of two New York Times best-selling books — his first, ‘Chasing the Scream: the First and Last Days of the War on Drugs’, is currently being adapted into a major Hollywood film by Oscar-winning director Lee Daniels, and into a non-fiction documentary series.
