Collaborating for a Better Community

Raleigh Police Department Chief Rico Boyce has a strong commitment to serving people seeking recovery. He recently toured the SouthLight Raleigh Hub and joined us for a sit-down discussion focused on determining better ways to respond to people in crisis. Chief Boyce asked that SouthLight partner with the Raleigh Police Department, and we’re honored to provide our expertise in finding solutions.  
 
SouthLight also continues to work with the RPD ACORNS program (Addressing Crises through Outreach, Referrals, Networking, and Service), and is exploring additional ways to strengthen that relationship as well.

Our Volunteer Program is Growing!

Each day, hundreds of people walk through the doors of SouthLight’s service sites seeking recovery, support, and, above all, hope. There are many ways for groups and individuals to give their time and talent in support of those we serve.

Volunteer Opportunity:
Join us on October 5, 2025, from 2-4 pm for a Campus Clean-Up. We’ll be outside beautifying the shared space at the SouthLight Raleigh Hub. All supplies will be provided. Get more details and sign up to join us! 

Our latest blog is a back-to-school must-read for parents. Get timely knowledge from Allison Burnett (Certified Health Education Specialist and Team Lead with SouthLight Prevention Services), as she discusses the warning signs, physical impact, and crucial conversations around teens and Vaping.  

What are the signs? What do Vapes look like? Is it Easy to Quit? What should I say to my teen? 

In partnership with the Wake County Public School System, Allison runs SouthLight’s ACE-1 Program (Alternative Counseling Education), working with students who are first-time offenders of the schools’ drug and alcohol policy.

“The work done by SouthLight is impressive and imperative to a healthy community. The services offered are thoughtful and holistic, wrapping around the broad spectrum of needs each individual may have to create a fully supportive framework. It is clear, compassion and care guide SouthLight in all they do.” —Andrew Farr, Community Health Supervisor at Wake County Government Health and Human Services | Public Health
