At The Serenity Center, outreach is more than networking — it’s about sharing hope, building relationships, and reminding individuals that recovery is possible. This week, our Marketing Representative, Mario Mendizabal, continued that mission with a visit to the Lafourche Parish Day Reporting Center.

Mario has been actively outreaching throughout several parishes, strengthening community partnerships and connecting with agencies that serve individuals working toward accountability and recovery. His visits are not just informational — they are personal.

During his time at the Lafourche Parish Day Reporting Center, Mario shared his own recovery journey and spoke candidly about how The Serenity Center played a pivotal role in transforming his life. He discussed the challenges he once faced, the turning point that led him to seek help, and how treatment provided him with the tools, structure, and support needed to rebuild his future.

His story resonated with participants. By speaking from lived experience, Mario offered something powerful: proof that change is possible. He emphasized that recovery is not just about sobriety, but about healing, personal growth, accountability, and creating a new legacy.

The Serenity Center remains committed to reaching individuals where they are — in courts, community programs, day reporting centers, and beyond. Through outreach efforts across multiple parishes, we continue to strengthen community collaboration and expand access to life-changing services.

We are proud of Mario’s dedication and willingness to share his testimony to inspire others. His work reflects the heart of our mission: empowering individuals to overcome addiction, restore their lives, and walk confidently into a healthier future.
