RAAD Podcast's latest episode offers a heartfelt recap of this year's Recovery Addiction Awareness Day (RAAD) event, which took place on March 13th. Hosted by the co-heads Asiba and Prabhleen, alongside project supervisors Raha and Erica, the episode dives into the highlights and reflections from the event. RAAD, an initiative by Western University students, aims to reduce the stigma around addiction and foster open conversations within the community.
This episode captures the essence of the event's success and the impactful stories shared by various speakers and musicians. The hosts discuss the significance of hosting RAAD in person after two years of online events due to COVID-19. They reflect on the inspiring recovery journeys shared by university students and individuals from different walks of life. The event featured two panels: one focused on support services for university students, and the other on community resources within London.
Both panels provided valuable insights into the services available for those in recovery. A standout moment from the episode is when the hosts recall a speaker's powerful message: "We need to recover out loud". This sentiment resonates throughout the discussion, emphasising the importance of sharing recovery stories in public spaces to break down barriers and encourage others.
You'll hear about the meticulous planning that went into organising RAAD, from coordinating speakers and musicians to setting up booths that provided information on available resources. The hosts share their excitement and pride in seeing the event come to life and witnessing the positive impact it had on attendees.
