We don't want to continue to bury people we love from a preventable issue that people are experiencing. Is it one hundred thousand people a year? Right, that's that was the conversation of what The Last Months on every news channel.
Ever wondered how advocacy can shape the recovery landscape? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', host Nathan Mitchell sits down with veteran recovery advocates Victor McKenzie, Jr. and Garrett Hade. As the 32nd Annual National Recovery Month kicks off, they dive into the vital role of recovery advocacy at local, state, and national levels. They discuss the importance of community support, especially in light of the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The conversation highlights upcoming events like the Mobilize Recovery Conference, which aims to unite advocates from across the country to share resources and ideas. But advocacy isn't just about attending events; it's about everyday actions, like paying bills on time or lending a hand to those in need. McKenzie and Hade also explore the power of podcasts in spreading awareness and the crucial role of engaging young people in the recovery movement.
As McKenzie poignantly notes, 'We don't want to continue to bury people we love from a preventable issue that people are experiencing'. This episode is a call to action for anyone invested in sustaining recovery and preventing unnecessary losses within the community.
