End
Executive Summary:
With the designation of September 2021 as Recovery Month, Sonoma County joins the national observance to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with mental and substance use disorders to live healthy and rewarding lives. The 2021 National Recovery Month theme, “Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community,” reminds people in recovery and those who support them that recovery belongs to all of us. “Recovery is for Everyone” means we are committed to sharing our personal accomplishments and struggles and reaching across barriers to support one another.
Discussion:
Recovery is for everyone because it benefits everyone. In recovery, we build new connections to ourselves, our families, and our communities. The 2021 National Recovery Month theme, “Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community” encourages and welcomes everyone to recovery by lowering barriers to recovery support, creating inclusive spaces and programs, and broadening our understanding of what recovery means for people with different experiences.
The National Recovery Month observance raises awareness and educates communities about the effective services available in the community and works to improve the lives of those affected by mental health and substance use disorders.
The 2021 National Recovery Month observance and theme, “Recovery is for Everyone” works to inspire people across the country to transform the “I” into “we” and build bridges between families, communities, and groups. We celebrate our diversity and seek to develop deeper understanding, caring, and connection that nurtures recovery.
Recovery Month has been celebrated nationally in September for over 30 years and in California for over 28 years.
Prior Board Actions:
