Established in 2020, the State of Our Recovery forum series continues to create space and now adds fundraising dedicated to the wholistic healing of BIPOC from addiction, mental health challenges and chronic stress + trauma.

All sessions take place during the lunch hour(s) to set the stage for a series of lunch and learn style conversations. The Eight (8) Dimensions of Wellness by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) are the foundational blueprint of our programs/services and the overarching theme for the State of Our Recovery II.

Who should participate?

Community members, professionals and youth who want to share their experiences and/or recovery journey in regards to addiction, mental health challenges and chronic stress/trauma.

Who will facilitate?

Iisha Wesley, DONT SLEEP

Natasha Cheatham, Minority Recovery Collective Inc.

What will be discussed?

An overview of last year's conversations and how we shaped our programs/services based on that feedback. Additionally, we will discuss how we as community members and leaders can take this information, along with our dollars, to invest/reinvest back into our community.
