Fourth annual Recovery Jamboree celebrates community members in recovery from mental health and substance abuse disorders

September is Recovery Month and there is no better way to celebrate those in recovery from mental health and substance use challenges than by coming together for a day of free, family-friendly fun!  Join over 30 local agencies in celebrating at the Sanctuary of Hope on Saturday, September 28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be music, a free lunch, giveaways, resources and more. The event is family focused, so bring the kids to enjoy free snow cones, popcorn, games and so much more!

 

"This event emphasizes that individuals in recovery and their support systems can be change agents in our communities,” stated Marietta Hagan, project coordinator with CoxHealth. “It is critical that people experiencing mental health and substance use disorders receive the support they need. The reality is that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and recovery is possible!”

 

This event is part of Recovery Month, an international observance. The observance raises awareness of mental health and substance use disorders, celebrates individuals in recovery, and acknowledges the work of prevention, treatment and recovery support services. The event is hosted through collaboration between local prevention, treatment and recovery support providers. “We all have the potential to make a difference and be visible, vocal and valuable to help spread the message that recovery is possible.” stated Hagan. “Only through working together can we become a recovery ready community.”
