A Day of Hope and Connection
Every September 30, people across the globe unite for International Recovery Day—a movement that celebrates recovery, builds awareness, and breaks down the stigma surrounding addiction. At Herren Project, we stand alongside millions of individuals and families honoring this day with courage, gratitude, and hope.
What International Recovery Day Means
Recovery is not a straight line. It’s a journey of resilience, support, and community. International Recovery Day shines a light on that journey. It reminds us that:
-
Recovery is possible.
-
No one walks this path alone.
-
Every story of healing strengthens the fabric of our communities.
This global recognition is more than symbolic—it’s a call to action for compassion, understanding, and advocacy.
Why It Matters to Herren Project
Our mission is rooted in the belief that prevention, recovery, and connection can change lives. Each day, we witness the strength of individuals in recovery and the ripple effect it creates for families, schools, and communities.
International Recovery Day aligns with our vision of a world where all people thrive free of the effects of addiction. It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and amplify the voices of those who often go unheard.
Celebrating Recovery Month Together
September has been full of meaningful opportunities to gather and celebrate recovery. Herren Project joined communities across New England to honor resilience and connection:
-
ROAR – A powerful gathering that lifted up the voices of people in recovery and their families.
-
IGT 5K – A chance to move with purpose, raise awareness, and show that wellness and recovery go hand in hand.
-
Strength in Unity Recovery Month Event at the GUS Cant Rec Center in Falmouth, MA – A celebration of community, courage, and togetherness.
These moments remind us of the strength that comes when we stand shoulder to shoulder in support of recovery.
