Community invited to celebrate recover y
T
he Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) and its partners invite community members to celebrate National Recovery Month by attending the 14th Annual Recovery Happens event on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the National Orange Show, 690 S. Arrowhead Ave. (Gate 8) in San Bernardino. Recovery Happens is a free, family-friendly event designed to increase awareness of substance use disorders and celebrate the successes of those in recovery. The event will feature children’s activities, a resource fair, entertainment, community performances and refreshments, all made possible through the support of local community partners, agencies and businesses. A special tribute will take place for individuals in recovery, their families and friends, and those working in the field of prevention, substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services. National Recovery Month is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and was adopted by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors in 2011. This year’s theme, “Join the Voices for Recovery: Strengthen Families and Communities,” encourages communities to be socially inclusive, offering those in need of support the opportunity to seek help, lend a hand, and contribute to their community as citizens, parents, employees, students, volunteers, and leaders. “Millions of Americans are affected by mental and substance use disorders, including our friends, family members, neighbors, and colleagues,” said DBH Director Veronica Kelley. “But the good news is that with support from family, friends and the community, people can, and do, recover. Please join DBH as we celebrate the journey towards recovery and wellness.” DBH’s Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Services provides a full range of substance use disorder prevention, treatment and recovery support for communities and residents of San Bernardino County through a network of community based organizations and County-operated clinics. Through SUD Services, DBH is supporting the Countywide Vision of creating a county in which those who reside and invest can prosper and achieve well-being.
