Each September, we join people across the country in celebrating Recovery Month. A time to shine a light on the journeys of hope, healing, and transformation that make up our recovery community.

For us, Recovery Month is more than just awareness. It’s about recognising the incredible resilience of individuals who face challenges with substance misuse, mental health, and wellbeing—and the communities that stand beside them. It’s about celebrating milestones, no matter how big or small, and honouring the courage it takes to walk the path of recovery every single day.

Recovery is not a journey taken alone. It’s built through connection, compassion, and shared strength. At The Well Communities, we believe in the power of lived experience and peer support to inspire change and show that recovery is not only possible, it is worth celebrating.

This month is also a reminder of our collective responsibility: to continue breaking down stigma, creating safe spaces, and providing the resources people need to thrive. When we come together through events (such as the Bay 5k Recovery Run), conversations, volunteering, or simply showing up for each other, we prove that recovery is stronger with community.

💜 To everyone on this journey, know this: you are not alone, your story matters, and recovery is something we can celebrate - together.💜
