Alliance Note: Our Alliance for Rights and Recovery is thrilled to announce that this year’s annual conference will feature a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a discussion with 3 of our most cherished pioneers. All 3 are the creators of innovations that have become fundamental to the promotion of health, recovery and peer support across the world: Mary Ellen Copeland and Wellness Recovery Action Plans, Shery Mead and Intentional Peer Support and Peggy Swarbrick and the 8 Dimensions of Wellness and Peer Wellness Coaching model.
Our theme this year is “Leading the Charge for Recovery, Rights and Justice” and will be drawing self and system advocates and innovators from across the state and nation and across the lifespan. During the conference, we’ll also be taking steps to help launch a coalition and campaign to “take back the narrative” that counters and replaces the rising use of coercion, criminalization, institutionalization and discrimination across our country with a broad array of progressive policies, public education and voluntary innovations that work. Look for our call for presentations and scholarship applications links early next week!
