Announcing RECOVERY WALKS! 2022 Reimagined
Join us for a month-long celebration, Recovery is for Everyone: Every Individual, Every Family, Every Community
Observed each September, National Recovery Month gives us an opportunity to increase public awareness about addiction recovery. It is an important moment for us all to celebrate victory, promote and support evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, and honor the strong, proud recovery community and the service providers and communities who advance recovery in all forms.
The theme for Recovery Month 2022 is Recovery is for Everyone: Every Individual, Every Family, Every Community, which perfectly captures the spirit of our message and our mission. The Council of Southeast Pennsylvania and our program, Pennsylvania Recovery Organization – Achieving Community Together (PRO-ACT), are proud to present events throughout September that demonstrate that “Recovery Works!” and every person can be part of making Recovery possible.
Recovery Walks! have been an important part of Recovery Month, and, like many of you, we began 2022 looking forward to an in-person gathering for this year’s walk. However, public safety incidents in recent months coupled with the continuing health threat posed by the ongoing pandemic caused us to re-evaluate the format for the event. As a result, the 2022 walk will be held in a virtual format.
This decision was made through a recovery-oriented, trauma-informed lens, out of an abundance of caution and in acknowledgment of the increasing logistical challenges of ensuring safety at a large public gathering.
