Attendees will also hear messages of hope with recovery speakers from those who have graduated from the local Drug Court program.
InWell hosted its first Recovery Month Celebration, Walk for Recovery, in 2021 at Milligan Park. This event had an amazing amount of support from community members, treatment providers, and various social service agencies who hosted booths to share resources for the Montgomery County Recovery Community and their loved ones. This event has grown and expanded so much that it needed to be moved to Pike Place in 2022.
This event has become an annual celebration because InWell wanted to create an event to highlight the local recovery community and show support to them and their loved ones who have been affected by substance use disorder. InWell wants to continue to recognize the sharing of local recovery stories to decrease stigma and normalize asking for help when it is needed.
As always, many resources can be found on the Drug Free Montgomery County’s website at drugfreemoco.org. For further questions, reach out to Diamond Justus at diamond@mcysb.org.
