If we can come together as one larger organization, you know as operating in parent and subsidiaries, we know that we can spend the money that is already limited in a really efficient way and we can impact more communities in the country by working together and working under a similar mission still being mission-driven. But if we can do that, then we impact the country in a real tangible way that's never been done in the recovery space.
Have you ever wondered how young people are making waves in the recovery community? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Neil Scott sits down with Robert Ashford, the Program Manager for Young People in Recovery, to explore just that. Recorded at the 2015 TAAP Conference on Addiction Studies in San Antonio, TX, this conversation dives into the power of youth voices in shaping a more inclusive and effective recovery environment.
Robert shares how his organization is striving to bring diverse perspectives to the forefront, ensuring that the recovery community reflects the varied experiences of those it serves. One standout moment is when Robert emphasizes the collective strength gained by uniting different recovery groups. By working together, they can tackle broader societal issues and advocate for legislative changes that benefit everyone in recovery.
He passionately states, 'We can speak up and be a voice for recovery, not just in our communities but also on a legislative level, to challenge discriminatory policies.' This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how young advocates are pushing for a more supportive and inclusive recovery landscape. Whether you're directly involved in the recovery community or simply curious about its evolution, Robert's insights offer a fresh perspective on the importance of unity and advocacy.
