StagingUsefulPositivePresentationsOf RecoveryTrainings, this is our team’s project. Our basic tenets are to use the Internet social network to educate, advocate and heighten public awareness. There is a “new” Recovery Advocacy Movement and we want to start people thinking in a paradigm about chemical dependency problems and the reality of Recovery. It is vital that the different fractions of our field come together and help develop the general public’s attitudes and perceptions that are supportive for long-term recovery
