September is Recovery Month
Recovery Month is an opportunity to raise awareness, challenge stigma and celebrate the achievements of people recovering from all forms of addiction and addictive behaviours.
The key message is simple: Recovery is Possible.
Throughout September, there will be a range of recovery events taking place that will offer a chance to hear inspiring stories of recovery, connect with others, and show solidarity with people on their recovery journeys.
