September is National Recovery Month!


Every September, SAMHSA recognizes the achievements of the recovery community through National Recovery Month. BRSS TACS is pleased to offer the following Recovery Month resources and event information for you to share with your colleagues, families, and friends:

  • “Preventing and Addressing Homelessness among People with Mental and/or Substance Use Disorders” is a webcast SAMHSA produced as part of the Road to Recovery radio and television series. Click here to view it listen to the audio recording, or to download the transcript.

     

  • SAMHSA’s Recovery Month toolkit features banners, logos, flyers, and other shareable media to help you promote recovery awareness. The toolkit is also available in Spanish.
  • The National Recovery Month calendar provides a national listing of local events, including walks, rallies, runs, concerts, documentary viewings, and other activities. You can search by state, type of event, or keyword. Add your event to the calendar to help publicize it and to help demonstrate the scope of the National Recovery Month Celebration.
  • View videos of people sharing their recovery journeys and read recovering people’s stories via the Recovery Month Webpage and YouTube channel. If you would like directions on how to submit your own story, please click here.

Please explore these resources and join us in celebrating the great strides taken by the recovery community!

 

 

BRSS TACS (Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Strategy) is an initiative of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Under the initiative, a center was established in 2011 to support the provision and coordination of technical assistance and training, and to convene summits, policy academies, and other events to facilitate the adoption and implementation of recovery concepts, policies, practices, and services in behavioral health nationally. More information is available at: http://www.samhsa.gov/brss-tacs.
