Recovery Month Celebration 2024

In honor of Recovery Month, an annual health observance celebrating Americans in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD), BH WELL joined members of Kentucky’s recovery community, state leaders, and health officials at the Capitol in Frankfort on Monday, September 16, 2024. Governor Andy Beshear spoke at the event and proclaimed September to be Recovery Month in Kentucky. Along with numerous community partners, the event featured inspirational stories of hope and resilience along with free access to naloxone, information about SUD and recovery support programs, second chance employment, and health care access. 

BH WELL set up alongside partner organizations on the Capitol lawn from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  to share resources and educational materials with participants. All Kentuckians are encouraged to attend this important event. 

Recovery Month, which started in 1989, is a national observance held every September to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the nation’s strong and proud recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery in all its forms possible.
