Faces & Voices of Recovery is conducting a Statewide Community Forum in Delray Beach, Florida on Saturday, March 5, 2011 to address discrimination against people in or seeking long-term recovery from addiction. The forum will be conducted in an open dialogue/town hall meeting format. Every day, Florida residents face obstacles and barriers that prevent or inhibit their chances to achieve long-term recovery from addiction. We’d like to hear about your experiences – and those of your friends, neighbors, colleagues, and constituents – with discriminatory policies, negative attitudes, and other barriers to sustained recovery. We also encourage people to speak out about policies and programs that have had a positive impact on sustained recovery. Topics covered will include: *Housing and homelessness *Employment *Re-entry and criminal justice issues *Education *Family reunification *Public understanding of recovery We are seeking attendees and potential speakers who are: * Members of the organized recovery community (including individuals in long-term recovery from addiction and co-occurring disorders, family members, and allies.) * Treatment and recovery support service providers * Experts in addiction, mental health, and co-occurring recovery * Policymakers * Business leaders * Representatives from other services (e.g., criminal justice, child welfare, social services, primary care, etc.) Co-sponsors for the forum include Delray Recovery Center, Floridians for Recovery, intherooms.com, and Southern Coast ATTC. We look forward to hearing from you. Join us!
