The Recovery Academy: Breaking Stigmas and Building Support Systems
“Years ago you didn't hear somebody say they were an alcoholic openly, it's just, it is what it is now, and we're trying to celebrate it.”
Imagine a world where recovery from addiction and mental health struggles isn't shrouded in stigma but celebrated and supported. In this episode of 'The Two Norries', hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with Mark Wright and Paul Duff from the Recovery Academy in Cork and Dublin. These two passionate advocates share their journey into the Recovery Academy and its vital role in fostering recovery communities.
The Recovery Academy isn't just about providing support; it's about creating a ripple effect of awareness and change. They offer workshops, conduct research, and push for policy changes that make a real difference in people's lives. Mark and Paul also give a sneak peek into their upcoming pop-up recovery cafes and activities, which aim to create safe spaces for people in recovery to connect and thrive.
This episode isn't just informative; it's a beacon of hope for anyone touched by addiction or mental health issues. It's a testament to the power of community and the importance of breaking down the barriers of stigma. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the topic, this conversation offers valuable insights and inspiration.
