Rockdale County's Vision: Tackling Mental Health and Addiction in the Justice System

We also respect the science of our substance disorder. I see that that works, like ms tanisha breed's character indicated, and like you just said, I'm in long-term recovery.
How do you reduce the number of people with mental health and addiction issues ending up in the criminal justice system? In this episode of 'Grit & Grace - The Recovery Hour', hosts Bill Carruthers and Tanisha Character welcome the Rockdale County Stepping Up Initiative Executive Team to discuss just that. Led by Commissioner Doreen Williams, the team dives into their mission and vision, revealing the strategies they are putting in place to support the local recovery community.
With a focus on long-term recovery and peer-driven support, they highlight the importance of self-sustainability and share their hopes for the future of the initiative. It's an episode packed with practical insights and a clear message of hope for anyone touched by addiction or mental health challenges.
