CMHA recognizes Recovery Month 2020

SHARE THIS CONTENT

September is Recovery Month and CMHA Waterloo Wellington joins organizations around the world in recognizing this important event. According to Addictions & Mental Health Ontario (AMHO), 22 per cent of Canadians will be affected by addiction in their lifetime. Recovery Month gives them the opportunity to share stories, talk about treatment options, and reduce the stigma surrounding addiction.

Recovery looks different for everyone. We must continue to speak openly about addiction so those struggling know they are not alone. To show support, members of the public are encouraged to share their stories and use the #RecoveryMonth hashtag on social media.

If you or someone you know needs help, contact Here 24/7 at 1-844-HERE-247 (437-3247) or TTY 1-877-688-5501 or by visiting Here 24/7.
