Please plan to join on March 24, 2022 for our first Recovery & Empowerment Statewide Call for 2022! Our theme this year is "Making Waves!" During this year's educational series, we will be highlighting current programs that provide recovery support services in Illinois. Each call will include panel discussions with recovery leaders. All panelists will be persons in recovery from mental health and/or substance use challenges who are working in a variety of programs.
Each call will provide listeners the opportunity to hear directly from and be inspired by individuals in recovery. And each call will highlight employment opportunities where you can put your lived experience to work. This month's focus is "Living Room Supports in Illinois."
Please note that you don't have to be at an agency or in a group to participate. Individuals are welcome to dial in from a personal phone or from home. Remember to provide the moderator with your name, the agency you are representing (if applicable), and the number of persons listening in from your location.
