We offer guidance and support to assist communities in building a solid foundation for Recovery at the local level. That guidance and support comes in many forms. Sometimes it means we’re organizing a community listening forum on Long Island. Sometimes it means we’re engaging people to talk about their Recovery during a training in Rochester.
