Let's celebrate the strength of the recovery community together.

The countdown is officially on—we are just ONE WEEK away from our Annual Recovery Month Celebration! 🗓️

Take a look at the full details in the attached flyer. Next Friday, STAND Inc. and our incredible community partners are coming together for a transformative day dedicated to uplifting the recovery community. We believe that true healing begins when we share our journeys, which is why this year's theme is "Our Stories; Our Strength."

Join us for an engaging afternoon featuring live entertainment by RISE2RECOVERY, powerful spoken word performances, impactful guest speakers, art, music, and health screenings. Let’s unite to break down barriers, replace judgment with empathy, and celebrate the beauty of recovery. We can't wait to see you there!

Stigmatizing labels create barriers to care. Person-first language builds bridges. The way we speak about addiction can either hinder or support someone's journey to wellness. A simple shift in our vocabulary has the power to heal rather than harm. Let’s commit to putting the person before the diagnosis and speaking with respect.

Your connection is our foundation. When communities connect, we create a supportive ecosystem where individuals don’t just get by—they truly thrive. Let’s continue to build a stronger future together. 🧩

Community is where we find our true strength! We are thrilled to invite you to STAND, Inc.'s Annual Recovery Month Celebration. This year's theme is "Our Stories; Our Strength," and we are coming together to honor the resilience, courage, and beauty of the recovery community.

Join us and our amazing partners on Friday, September 25th, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It’s going to be an uplifting, family-friendly day filled with art, music, spoken word, powerful recovery speakers, health screenings, and raffle giveaways! Plus, you won't want to miss the live entertainment by our special guests, RISE2RECOVERY!

A huge thank you to the community partners making this possible: Georgia Harm Reduction Coalition, DeKalb Public Health, Recovery Consultants of Atlanta, DBHDD, DeKalb County Fire Rescue, and Rise Recovery.

It’s time to change how we talk about addiction. When we strip away the labels, we find the truth: addiction is a health condition, not a moral failing. Behind every diagnosis is a human being with a story, a family, and a very real future.

Let’s choose compassion over judgment. Let's challenge the stigma, together. 🧡
