Recovery is stupendous: achievable hope, freedom, freedom, freedom, empowering.
September marks Recovery Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the journey of overcoming addiction and mental health challenges. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', hosts Jim and Andi from Montana's Peer Network share an exciting lineup of virtual events planned for 2020. Due to COVID-19, the usual in-person Recovery Conference couldn't take place, but that hasn't dampened the spirit of the community. Instead, they’ve adapted by organizing monthly virtual events that promise to be both engaging and supportive.
Jim and Andi kick things off by discussing the significance of Recovery Month and the power of peer support. They dive into various upcoming events, including a peer coaching series aimed at helping individuals support each other through tough times. This series is a testament to the strength of shared experiences and the difference they can make in someone's recovery journey.
The episode also highlights the peer leadership training project, which focuses on equipping participants with the skills needed to advocate for better support systems. Jim and Andi emphasize how crucial peer advocacy is for bringing about positive changes in the behavioral health system. Another noteworthy event is the speed skills webinars, designed to quickly enhance or refresh the skills of peer support specialists. These webinars cover a range of topics, including trauma recovery, and offer continuing education units for attendees.
But it's not all work and no play. Jim and Andi mention that every event attended gives participants a chance to win some fantastic prizes. They’ve even thrown in some fun trivia questions during the events, with instant prizes for the quickest correct answers. This episode is packed with information and inspiration, showcasing how Montana's Peer Network is fostering a supportive and empowering environment despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.
Jim and Andi’s enthusiasm is infectious, making this a must-listen for anyone involved in or interested in recovery. Tune in to find out how you can participate, learn, and maybe even win some prizes while supporting a great cause.
