Recovery & Empowerment Statewide Call, Jan. 26, 2023

RECOVERY & EMPOWERMENT STATEWIDE CALL

Please plan to join on January 26, 2023, for our first Recovery & Empowerment Statewide Call for 2023! Our new theme is "Expanding Horizons." During the 2023 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 the opportunity to hear directly from, and be inspired by, individuals in recovery. This month's focus is "Recovery in Today's Crisis Services."

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, as a new feature this year, 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.
