Great Lakes ATTC invites you to the "Healthy Families, Healthy Communities: It's All About Recovery!" event during National Recovery Month. Renowned experts on men, youth, and women will present critical information on the importance of recovery and its impact on all family members.
The concept of Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) will be the frame used to discuss how to shore up and sustain healthy families. The framework will also be used to explore how healthy communities can be developed. Healthy families and healthy communities are necessary for both to flourish.
