Young People in Recovery’s Post

During Recovery Month, it's important that people in recovery and their allies stand together to amplify the recovery message and work towards positive change. Here are author and recovery expert Alison Jones Webb's five tips for how allies can support the recovery movement. Learn more by reading her book: "Recovery Allies: How to Support Addiction Recovery and Build Recovery-Friendly Communities." 1. Listen! Lend an ear to your friends, family, and neighbors in recovery to learn about their story and find out how you can stand by them. 2. Learn! Take the time to learn about addiction, harm reduction, and different recovery pathways. 3. Show up! Attend events and meetings to learn more about issues affecting the recovery movement in your community and how you can get involved.. 4. Use your role for good! Are you a teacher? Create a safe space where students can express concerns related to SUD. Are you a great baker? Host a bake sale and donate profits to a recovery advocacy group! 5. Speak up! Everyone has the ability to call out stigma when they see it. If you hear someone using offensive language or making harmful assumptions about addiction and recovery, say something.
