Downlead SAMHSA's Recovery Month toolkit, your one stop shop for social media content, resources and promotional materials. Register for the following events by clicking on the links below:
- September 18 - Storytelling for Advocates
This interactive workshop series is designed to prepare young adult peers and advocates to share their personal stories and recovery experiences with a wide array of audiences in order to combat stigma in their communities, impact change in their service systems, and to provide hope to those who are struggling. Sharing stories of lived experience in order to inspire and provide hope to others is at the heart of peer support as well as a driving force in personal recovery. It is also a way to effectively educate our communities and policymakers about the concept of recovery and illustrate what helps to support recovery and what creates barriers.
- September 19 - Treating Substance Use Disorders in Older Adults
Throughout the United States, an estimated 1-2 million older adults are in need of substance use disorders (SUD) treatment. This presentation addresses evidence-based best practices for treating older adults with substance use disorder. -
September 20 - Join SAMHSA for Special Release of Research Findings on Recovery
This is a live event, please click on this link to attend virtually! In celebration of National Recovery Month, SAMHSA’s Office of Recovery will release findings from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) that provide a more in-depth examination of the prevalence of recovery based on self-reports among Americans and what helps people to recover from their mental health and substance use conditions. Results will also be shared on how Americans in recovery reported they fared during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the nation faces a continued mental health crisis and an overdose epidemic, these findings are important to help individuals, families, and communities heal and find hope.
- September 21 - Centering Whole Person Wellness - SAMHSA Recovery Month
