As we begin to close out our Shatter the Stigma: The Power of Recovery Voices project, we’re looking back at the incredible stories that have been shared throughout the past year. 💜

First up, we’re re-sharing the powerful video recovery stories of Chadd, Amanda, Nick, and Nichole.

Each shared their own journey with honesty and courage, giving us a glimpse into the challenges they’ve faced, the lives they’ve rebuilt, and what recovery has made possible for them.

We are so grateful to Chadd, Amanda, Nick, and Nichole for trusting us with their stories and using their voices to help challenge stigma, create hope, and show others that recovery is possible. ✨

💜 September is National Recovery Month – a time to celebrate people on their recovery journeys and recognize the families, peers, providers, and communities who walk alongside them.

At IDHS, we know there is no single path to recovery. Treatment, mental health services, peer support, and community resources can all play a role in helping people build a life in recovery.

Throughout September, we’ll share stories from people across Illinois about their experiences with recovery – in their own words. Their stories remind us that recovery is possible, hope is powerful, and no one has to walk the journey alone.

Together, we can celebrate recovery and help reduce the stigma that can prevent people from seeking support.
