This Naked Mind Launches Unprecedented Program for Anyone Wanting Help Around Alcohol, Anxiety, Fear


News Image

Right now, people are afraid, but they have a choice. They can run and hide, or they can embrace the opportunity to show up and ask the right questions. In this isolating time, we need connection now more than ever; we don’t want anyone to feel alone.

Just because the liquor stores are staying open, you don’t have to drink. Just because you got invited to five virtual “quarantini” happy hours in your friends’ Zoom rooms this week, you don’t have to drink. Just because social media makes it feel like absolutely everyone is boozing 24/7 to survive the COVID-19 pandemic, you don’t have to drink.

That’s what This Naked Mind (TNM) wants people to know. And, it’s the reason a brand new free program called TNM Connection launched earlier this week. TNM Connection is for anyone who is drinking. It’s also for anyone who isn’t drinking but wishes they were. And, it’s for anyone who’s feeling on edge. Whether or not people are simply thinking about alcohol or actually consuming it, TNM Connection offers tools to help quiet their minds, quiet some of their fears, and teach them how to take a breath and find a moment of peace any time they need it.

“Alcohol sales are skyrocketing right now,” says Annie Grace, founder of This Naked Mind and author of This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life and The Alcohol Experiment: A 30-day, Alcohol-Free Challenge to Interrupt Your Habits and Help You Take Control. “People are day drinking like never before, starting with vodka in their morning coffee. Why? Because they’re doing the best they can with the tools they have. As a society, we have traditionally used alcohol to manage fear and anxiety.”

TNM Connection offers science-based methods that really work. Naked Mind certified coaches are volunteering their time daily for hours of live group coaching. And, they’ll continue for as long as it’s needed. This is a program like no other, because we’re experiencing a challenge like none we’ve ever seen before.

“Right now, people are afraid, but they have a choice,” says Annie Grace. “They can run and hide, or they can embrace the opportunity to show up and ask the right questions. In this isolating time, we need connection now more than ever; we don’t want anyone to feel alone.”

Unlike most “stop drinking” programs, TNM Connection isn’t just about alcohol. The TNM ACT Technique helps people find peace in so many different areas of their lives. No matter what they may be feeling, people can pinpoint a thought or belief and make a positive change within minutes. There’s no judgment, shame, or blame. Just compassion and connection.

Those who wish to explore this invaluable yet free resource are invited to visit TNM Connection to learn more and join.

About This Naked Mind

Founded by Annie Grace in 2015, This Naked Mind (TNM) helps people end the conflict between their desire to drink less and their unconscious belief that alcohol is beneficial, Annie Grace overcame a decade of drinking by revamping her own relationship with alcohol. Today she helps others across the globe do the same – the 200,000+ people who’ve bought her books, the 350,000+ people who receive daily emails from her, the listeners who’ve downloaded her This Naked Mind Podcast episodes more than 4 million times, and the 110,000+ people who’ve gone through her free program, The Alcohol Experiment. Rather than teaching people how to be sober, TNM takes away the desire to drink. And, the approach helps people where rehabs have not. Join TNM on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.

Tele-MAT Addiction Services Provide Triage Support and Access to Care During Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic


At Workit Health, we have counselors available digitally to support those in recovery who may be struggling with quarantine and unable to attend their usual in-person recovery care.

Workit Health, the nation’s premiere provider of telemedicine addiction care including online therapy and medication, issued the following statement regarding novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and resulting disease state COVID-19:

“At Workit Health, we’re working closely with the health care organizations on the front lines of the novel coronavirus to mitigate the impact of a potential shortage of resources,” said Lisa McLaughlin, LMSW, Workit’s Co-CEO. “We realize that emergency departments and local clinics often act as the front door to the healthcare system for many people with substance use disorders, and our telemedicine program allows immediate triage to clinicians and counselors remotely via our web and phone apps. We can establish a dedicated routing system to ensure frontline staff can focus on COVID-19.”

As a telemedicine provider with five years experience offering tele-MAT and online therapy in locations currently experiencing novel coronavirus outbreaks, including Michigan, California, and New Jersey, Workit Health is uniquely prepared to assist with triage and relieve the pressures that substance use disorders place on health systems. It’s estimated that nearly half of all emergency department visits in the US are related to substance use disorders. Workit’s remote team of clinicians and counselors is available via telemedicine, with an online scheduling system available to patients or referral partners at any time.

“We know that many older Americans and Americans with co-occurring disorders have been advised to stay home. People with substance use disorders may be disproportionately affected by these instructions as SUDs patients have an increased risk for major medical conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and hepatitis C,” said Dr. Paul Leonard, MD, Workit Health’s Chief Medical Officer. “At Workit Health, we have counselors available digitally to support those in recovery who may be struggling with quarantine and unable to attend their usual in-person recovery care.”

About Workit Health: Workit Health is a JCO accredited addiction healthcare B-corporation offering online, on-demand evidence-based addiction treatment including telehealth medication for opioid use disorder. Workit Health partners with healthcare organizations to deliver an innovative digital health solution that blends the best of human-centered design, technology, and science.

St. Vincent’s Medical Center Launches Emergency Department Recovery Coach Program with Funding Support from the Cigna Foundation


CCAR and St. Vincent’s Medical Center staff at the Emergency Department Recovery Coach Program launch.

“Since the inception of CCAR’s EDRC program, their coaches have worked with more than 5,500 individuals. Ninety-three percent of those interactions resulted in connection to support.”

On March 9th, St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport became the 21st hospital in Connecticut to incorporate the Emergency Department Recovery Coach (EDRC) program from the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) into their Emergency Department. The program launch at St. Vincent’s is the result of collaborative efforts from CCAR, the Cigna Foundation, and Hartford HealthCare.

Recovery Coaches are skilled professionals, often with first-hand experience of Recovery, who support individuals affected by substance use through one-on-one connection, resource brokering, and follow-up conversations.

CCAR’s Emergency Department Recovery Coach program was launched in 2017 with a small team responding to a handful of hospitals. Since then, the program has grown to employ a team of 18 coaches responding to 21 hospitals across Connecticut. Since the inception of CCAR’s EDRC program, their coaches have worked with more than 5,500 individuals. Ninety-three percent of those interactions resulted in connection to support.

CCAR has had a strong presence in Bridgeport since they opened a Recovery Community Center in the heart of downtown in 2006. Of CCAR’s five centers in Connecticut, Bridgeport is one of the busiest. Last year alone, the Bridgeport Recovery Community Center had about 16,000 people come through its doors. It was clear to leadership at CCAR that as the EDRC program grew and the opioid crisis continued, having Recovery Coaches in Bridgeport Emergency Departments would be of great benefit to that community.

The launch of CCAR’s EDRC program at St. Vincent’s was funded through a grant from the Cigna Foundation.

“The misuse of opioids and other substances continues to take a heavy toll in Connecticut and presents an ongoing threat to the health and well-being of our communities,” said Wendy Sherry, president of Cigna’s Connecticut market. “We are pleased that funding from the Cigna Foundation has enabled CCAR to bring its innovative program to St. Vincent’s, where we hope it will help reduce overdoses and potentially save lives.”

The recent acquisition of St. Vincent’s by Hartford HealthCare was timely. With CCAR coaches already working in every other Hartford HealthCare-run Emergency Department, officials at Hartford HealthCare were eager to make this service available at their newest ED.

“Having EDRC’s throughout the Hartford HealthCare system has been incredibly valuable” said Patricia Rehmer, President, Behavioral Health Network, Hartford HealthCare. “We’re very pleased to now be able to offer this at our ED at St. Vincent’s so that we can reach people in all parts of the state who need this critical service.”

CCAR’s EDRC Program Manager, Jennifer Chadukiewicz, is also pleased with the results of the collaboration. “It became clear that utilizing the Cigna Foundation grant to bring our EDRC Program into St. Vincent’s, already known for their mission to serve ‘those who are poor, vulnerable, and under-served’, was the right choice. This collaboration was truly inspired by a spirit of community coming together for a higher good.”

Pam Cytron, CEO of Pando Systems and board chairman of the GRI said, “We are thrilled to add these new board members who will bring their wisdom, expertise, and networks to expand philanthropy for people in early recovery from substance use disorder (SUD)—a nationwide problem that affects every sector of American life—from individuals and their families to the country’s employers and communities.”

About the New Board Members:

Nikki Sixx is a founding member and the bassist of the band Mötley Crüe (over 100 million albums sold worldwide) as well as the author of three New York Times bestselling books, including his memoir The Heroin Diaries, which will debut as a musical in 2020. He is 18 years sober and has been a dedicated recovery advocate, philanthropist, and public speaker. He is a frequent media contributor to CNN, Fast Company, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone. He has also spoken to members of Congress for National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month.

Allen Kovac, a 40-year veteran of the entertainment industry, founded Better Noise Music (AKA, Eleven Seven Music Group), Tenth Street Entertainment, and TDA Productions. He has developed and promoted a wide range of artists, including Tom Petty, Talking Heads, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Duran Duran, The Cranberries, Mötley Crüe, and Meatloaf.

In 2019, Allen was honored by Sir Richard Branson with the Innovator Award at the Association of Independent Music (AIM) Awards.

Allen has produced a number of programs that focus on SUD. He co-produced the highly successful Netflix biopic, The Dirt, based on the best-selling autobiography of the band Mötley Crüe. He also produced Sno Babies, a gripping story about a 16-year-old heroin-addicted honor student that shows how one can begin recovery; the movie is scheduled for release in 2020. In addition, he is the producer of The Heroin Diaries, a theater show based on the bestselling memoir of the same name by Nikki Sixx, which will run in 20 cities across the United States beginning in fall 2020.

Matt Escoubas is Director of Special Initiatives at Fors Marsh Group (FMG) where he oversees the company’s social purpose division tasked with addressing social challenges through in-kind, employee-led project teams. Throughout Matt’s career he has championed causes that strive to improve lives through evidence-based research. He brings more than 25 years of experience to his current role having led a wide array of public health and social change campaigns on behalf of federal and private sector clients. His work spans a range of topics, including opioid use disorder, addiction recovery, heart disease and stroke prevention, tobacco prevention, and pediatric palliative care. His efforts have received multiple industry awards, including a PR News Platinum Award, Bronze Anvil Award, two National Health Information Awards, and three Thoth Awards.

Alexandra Cameron is Vice President Strategic Partnerships & Government Initiatives for iHeartMedia. She also leads iHeartMedia’s significant commitment toward combatting the opioid epidemic, including its role as cofounder of The National Opioid Action Coalition (NOAC). iHeart’s active role in responding to the crisis has included thought leadership events and multiple audio and digital campaigns to heighten awareness and break stigma around substance use disorder, including a National Recovery Month effort which enlisted artist support from Macklemore, Camila Cabello, Dan + Shay and others. iHeartMedia and NOAC have adopted GRI as a charitable partner for SUD issues. Alexandra is also on the Advertising Week Advisory Council and is the former CEO of Keek, a startup social video network, growing it to 75 million users.
