I tell everyone you have to date your community. Be prepared to go on a ton of first dates. But date your community. Be prepared to go on a ton of first dates.
What happens when two powerhouse advocates for recovery come together to share their stories? In this episode of 'Recovery Talk', Stefanie Robinson from Hope Recovery Community and Patty McCarthy from Faces and Voices of Recovery take center stage. Stefanie, who has navigated her own long-term recovery journey, saw a glaring need for accessible recovery options in her county. She didn't just talk about it; she founded Hope Recovery Community, transforming a 17-acre farm into a sanctuary for those seeking help.
Her story is one of resilience and the power of community organizing. Patty McCarthy, on the other hand, is the CEO of Faces and Voices of Recovery. She’s all about putting a face and a voice to the recovery movement, emphasizing the importance of advocacy and education. Patty shares how their model has had a global impact and discusses ongoing initiatives for National Recovery Month, including a Recovery Month Luncheon and International Recovery Day.
Together, they introduce the Alliance for Recovery-Centered Organizations, a collective aimed at strengthening advocacy efforts and expanding recovery support services. This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration, practical advice, and a call to action for anyone interested in supporting the recovery community.
