The most compelling commitment we can make to black history is an investment in black future.
Imagine facing the challenges of addiction recovery while navigating the complexities of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). That's exactly what Philip Rutherford, Chief Operating Officer at Faces & Voices of Recovery and new NAATP Board member, discusses in this episode of 'Colors of Recovery'. Hosted by Zina Rodriguez and Tania Bhattacharyya, this conversation is a deep dive into the realities of being a Black man in the addiction treatment profession.
Philip shares his journey, highlighting both the hurdles and motivations behind implementing DEI practices in recovery organizations. He talks about the significance of Black History Month and the enduring legacies within Black communities that often go unrecognized. With a candid approach, he sheds light on the importance of creating inclusive environments that reflect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of those seeking recovery.
One of the key points Philip emphasizes is the need for addiction treatment providers to invest in Black futures and ensure their services mirror the diversity of the communities they serve. He introduces the Recovery North Star, a guiding document aimed at helping providers implement effective DEI practices. This episode isn't just about discussing problems; it's about finding actionable solutions and fostering collaboration among allies committed to change.
Whether you're in the addiction treatment field, supporting a loved one, or on your own recovery journey, this episode offers valuable perspectives on how inclusivity can lead to more compassionate and effective recovery solutions. Tune in to hear Philip's insights and be inspired to make a difference in your community.
