Community Transformation Through Recovery: Insights with Leroy Bryan
I see a change in the people that we serve as a result of them seeing a different way. They lose their voice, they lose power and then something that overpowers them for them to have the degree of ownership and input.
Imagine a community where recovery isn't just a possibility, but a reality. That's the vision shared by Bill Carruthers and Tanisha Character on this episode of 'The Recovery Hour'. Joined by Leroy Bryan from the Rockdale County Opening Doors to Recovery team, they dive into the tangible changes happening around them. Leroy brings his unique perspective as a community partner, highlighting how collaboration and support can break down barriers and uplift those struggling with mental health and substance use challenges.
The trio discusses everything from the impact of COVID-19 on recovery efforts to the essential role of accountability courts. They also emphasize the importance of self-care and the need for accessible resources and events that cater to those in recovery. As Leroy puts it, seeing people regain their voice and power is a testament to the community's strength and dedication.
