2023 Recovery Advocacy Day

Recovery Advocacy Day is an annual event at the Pennsylvania State Capitol, which aims to raise awareness of substance use disorders, and acknowledges the work of prevention, treatment, and recovery support services. This is the ninth year the day has been recognized. Held on September 19^th this year, the day also celebrates those in recovery. Those taking part in the day of advocacy met with legislators, shared their stories, and ultimately drove home the message that there is hope, and recovery is possible.

The day included a rally on the steps of the main rotunda with a number of speakers, including Senator John Kane, who suffered from alcohol addiction and has been in recovery for more than 35 years.
