This year’s national theme, Join the Voices for Recovery: Together We Are Stronger, highlights the need to share resources and build stronger networks to support the many paths to recovery. Mental and substance use disorders affect all of us, and we are all part of the solution. Please join us on September 28th and wear purple in support of recovery!
