On February 14, 2018, Faces & Voices of Recovery sponsored America's Opioid Epidemic: Supporting Recovery at the Newseum in Washington, D.
We worked with The Hill and Indivior, our co-sponsor, to organize the event and engage high profile speakers including the Surgeon General of the United States, Jerome Adams, M.D.; Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Congressman Dave Joyce (R-OH).
Our goal was to educate the public and policymakers about recovery from addiction and the role of recovery support services. With 192 people in attendance, and hundreds more watching online, the event was a huge success!
