Art and Advocacy: Alexia Jones and Steven McCoy on Empowering Men in Recovery

It's amazing how you can reach an enormous amount of folks through advocacy and art and the display of theater and dance expressions.
What happens when creativity meets recovery? In this engaging episode of 'The Recovery Hour', hosts Bill Carruthers and Tanisha Character sit down with two influential figures in Georgia's recovery scene: Alexia Jones, the founder of R2ISE recovery center, and Steven McCoy from Georgia Works. Together, they dive into their unique partnership that uses creative production to uplift men in recovery.
Alexia and Steven's passion for their work shines through as they discuss how art and advocacy can break down barriers to mental health and substance use recovery. They emphasize the importance of finding one's voice and the transformative power of language and expression in the healing process. This episode also touches on the broader impact of community support, highlighting the efforts of Covenant Community and Georgia Works in fostering empowerment and education for those on the recovery journey.
