Serenity Lane's annual Community Service Awards are designed to honor those who work on the front lines in the battle against substance use and behavioral health disorders. From those who answer the calls at insurance companies, human resources professionals, doctors, therapists and other heroes, we know that along the way are individuals offering compassion and excellence of care to those with complicated and relentless conditions. The awards are designed not only to honor them, but also inspire our community with their stories to keep up the important work. Because for over fifty years, we at Serenity Lane have learned that, together we can help save lives.
