Recovery & Well-being Series: March 26, 2025

Please plan to join on March 26, 2025, for our next Recovery & Well-Being Series (formerly known as Recovery & Empowerment Statewide Call Series)!

Our theme this year is "Bridges to Recovery." During the 2025 educational series, we will be exploring a wide variety of recovery pathways, considering some new and innovative things happening around us, and revisiting a few wellness tools that some of us may have been using for years.

Each call provides listeners with the opportunity to hear directly from, and be inspired by, individuals in recovery. This month's focus is "Generational Gaps: Bridges to Others Across the Lifespan."

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 you can log in from a home computer or through the WebEx app on a smartphone. Registration is not required. Instructions on how to join are below under the heading "How to Join."

ABOUT RECOVERY & EMPOWERMENT CALLS:

These calls have been held monthly since 2007, and were formerly known as "consumer education and support statewide call-ins." For all persons living with mental health or substance use challenges, this call is for you! The call is uniquely and specifically designed to provide education and support for individuals participating in publicly funded mental health and/or substance use treatment and recovery services in Illinois.

ABOUT STAFF PARTICIPATION:

Staff are welcome to listen in as well. However, the primary purpose of the call is to ensure that individuals participating in services have an opportunity to receive information, ask questions, and provide input.
