We see ourselves as an umbrella over a lot of the already really stellar work that's going on out there in the area of women's recovery. So we certainly formed our foundation so that we can make sure that our offerings, in particular, are accessible, more accessible to women who may not otherwise be able to attend.
Picture this: a platform often criticized for its superficiality turns into a lifeline for those in recovery. In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', Dawn Nickel, the founder of She Recovers, chats with host David Condos about how social media can be a game-changer for building genuine connections. Despite its often shallow reputation, social media holds untapped potential to connect people both online and offline, especially within the recovery community.
Dawn shares her journey of creating She Recovers, an initiative that started as an online community and has blossomed into face-to-face meetings, workshops, and more. These resources are particularly accessible to women who might not have the means to attend traditional recovery meetings. The She Recovers community offers a variety of support mechanisms, including yoga workshops and research on women's recovery and trauma.
One of the key takeaways from Dawn's discussion is the importance of creating safe, inclusive spaces for women in recovery. She emphasizes that building these communities is not just about offering support but also about ensuring that everyone feels welcome and included. Dawn’s motivation is deeply personal; she works in recovery because of the women she loves and knows in her life. This personal connection fuels her passion and commitment to her work.
As Dawn and David wrap up their conversation, they highlight the incredible potential of social media to build real connections. They encourage us to continue exploring new ways to use these platforms to support and empower those in recovery. If you’re curious about how social media can be more than just a scroll through your feed, this episode is a must-listen.
