While the jails were releasing people early without a home plan, while our community service boards were closing down, while treatment centers were refusing to take people, while emergency departments were barely treating, we kept the doors open.
What happens when a global crisis meets the unyielding spirit of a recovery community? This episode of 'Get in the Herd' brings you an engaging chat between host Nathan Mitchell and Sue Halstead Polston, the Executive Director of Sunrise Community for Recovery and Wellness. Reconnecting after their initial meeting during Recovery Across America 2020, Nathan and Sue dive into how the McShin Foundation navigated the stormy waters of the pandemic to keep its doors open and its support systems intact.
Sue opens up about her personal battle with addiction and how her experiences fuel her work today. They discuss the innovative ways the foundation used Substance Use Block Grant funding to launch new recovery centers across the state. The conversation highlights the unwavering power of community support and the critical role peer support plays in recovery, especially during times of crisis. Tune in for an inspiring tale of resilience, resourcefulness, and the relentless pursuit of recovery.
