The more and more that we get creative and we present these events to the community, what it does is it normalizes the conversation right.
Imagine a month dedicated to celebrating the triumphs and resilience of those in recovery. That's what National Recovery Month is all about, and the latest episode of 'Resilient and Real' dives into this inspiring celebration.

Together, they explore the importance of supporting evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, while shining a light on the vibrant recovery community. Donnie shares how creative events throughout September, such as concerts, guest speakers, and virtual art shows, help normalize conversations around addiction and recovery. These events not only bring awareness but also inspire hope and connection among individuals and families affected by substance use disorders.
One highlight is a concert featuring music by a teen workshop that has collaborated with the recovery happens committee. Another standout is a virtual art show that showcases narratives and items donated by family members, telling powerful stories of recovery and resilience. The episode emphasizes how celebrating recovery can have a profound impact on individuals and families.
Donnie notes the importance of children reconnecting with parents who are struggling with substance use disorders and how these celebrations can make recovery feel less isolating. This episode of 'Resilient and Real' is an inspiring resource for anyone looking to understand the significance of National Recovery Month.
