Nobody chooses a mental health diagnosis, nobody chooses to have a substance use disorder, and that we can create space that allows people to seek the help they need and then reenter their community in ways where stigma doesn't create any more of a barrier.
What if there was a month dedicated to celebrating recovery and raising awareness about substance abuse? Well, September is just that! In this episode of 'Recovery Radio', Jennifer King and Hank Owens from The Council of Southeastern Pennsylvania join the conversation. Jennifer, the Executive Director, and Hank, the manager of the Philadelphia office of ProAct, share their insights and experiences in organizing Recovery Month events.
They discuss their mission to provide support and resources for those seeking help from substance abuse, highlighting various programs like recovery community centers and storytelling training sessions. These initiatives aim to empower individuals to own their recovery stories and inspire others. The episode also spotlights the upcoming 'Recovery Walks' event in Philadelphia, which is expected to draw over 30,000 participants.
This walk, now in its 20th year, is a powerful testament to the strength of community involvement in destigmatizing mental health diagnoses and substance use disorders. Tune in to learn how you can be part of this celebration and make a difference in the fight against addiction.
