We have to tell our stories so that the public has a broader understanding of addiction and recovery, so that public policymakers will feel comfortable making sure that people have the services that they need to get well.
What happens when millions of Americans in long-term recovery come together to share their stories? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods sits down with Faces & Voices of Recovery, a national organization dedicated to mobilizing and organizing individuals in recovery, their families, and allies.
Tom, the National Field Director, joins Mary to discuss the power of storytelling in the recovery journey and the vital role community organizations play in supporting those affected by addiction and mental health issues. They touch on the Recovery Bill of Rights and the Mental Health and Addiction Parity Act, highlighting how these laws provide crucial protections for individuals in recovery.
Additionally, they explore the significance of Recovery Month, a time when people from all over the country come together to celebrate their recovery journeys and foster a sense of community. This episode is a heartfelt call to action for everyone to share their personal recovery stories, helping to reduce stigma and increase public understanding of addiction and recovery.
