National Recovery Month
Walk for Recovery ~ September 5
Patriot Day ~ September 11
National Recovery Month, held every September, promotes and supports new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the nation’s strong and proud recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery in all its forms possible.
Building social supports and a caring community is essential for recovery.
-
We do not recover alone. Recovery can be easier with the support of others.
-
Community can include people who accept us and encourage us to grow.
-
Family, friends, peers, and others play an important role in someone’s recovery.
-
Recovery is supported through meaningful relationships.
-
Social inclusion, not isolation, is important for recovery.
Want to help increase awareness and show your support for mental health and substance use disorder recovery? Check out SAMHSA's Recovery Month Toolkit or attend the Walk for Recovery on September 5th in Washington, DC.
On Patriot Day, we remember our nation's first responders and everyone whose occupational challenges could impact their mental health, wellness, and #recovery efforts. We see you, honor you, and thank you! If you are struggling to cope, reach out to get the support you need by clicking here.
