|
| | Recovery Month Week 2
Equitable Access |
|
|
|
| | This week’s focus is on ensuring that people of color, youth, older adults, LGTBQ2+ folks, rural residents, veterans, and people with disabilities have equitable access to recovery resources. | | Not everyone who uses substances needs to "recover" from their substance use; each person’s journey is unique and should be based on their individual life goals and values. With the right support, tools, and resources, however, everyone who wants to achieve recovery can do it. |
|
|
|
| | No one should be alone on their journey to healing. This Recovery Month, let’s make sure everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has the resources they need to thrive. | | Websites: | | | Webinars & Online Trainings: | |
