As many of you know I am a person in recovery. I talked about it on a podcast with my friend Melissa last year. Listen here. I volunteer with a few organizations, including Go The Distance and SHE RECOVERS®, which provide different types of support to individuals in recovery from substance abuse and mental health and other challenges. Both focus on community and include movement (running, walking, dance, yoga).
SHE RECOVERS focuses on providing support for women and nonbinary individuals that identify with women’s spaces and provides the following:
- We are all recovering from something, and you don’t have to recover alone.
- SHE RECOVERS is a non-profit movement dedicated to redefining recovery, inspiring hope, ending stigma, and empowering women in or seeking recovery to increase their recovery capital, heal themselves, and help other women to do the same.
- We support recovering women as they heal from a myriad of life challenges, including mental health issues, trauma, and substance use.
For this reason, earlier this summer, I completed a training to become a SHE RECOVERS® Professional, which means that I am trained in and my work aligns with the SHE RECOVERS® Intentions & Guiding Principles.
I’d love to connect if you have any questions, particularly about navigating recovery in the legal profession.
