Have You Seen the  Video of PRO-ACT Recovery Walks! 2013?  Click here to see it  A Look Forward to September 20, 2014 PRO-ACT's 13th Annual Recovery Walk            PRO-ACT holds our annual Recovery Walk in September to celebrate the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA's) National Recovery Month. Now in its 25th year, Recovery Month is a national observance that educates Americans on the fact that addiction treatment and mental health services can enable those with such disorders to live a healthy and rewarding life. Anyone with any doubt about that has only to attend the huge and jubilant celebration, "PRO-ACT Recovery Walks! 2014,"that we're planning for 20,000-plus people at Penn's Landing on September 20 in Philadelphia.         SAMHSA's theme for Recovery Month 2014, "Join the Voices of Recovery: Speak Up, Reach Out" is to encourage people to openly discuss--or speak up about--mental and substance use disorders and the reality of recovery. The theme aims to foster public understanding and acceptance of the benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery from behavioral health conditions. It also promotes ways first responders, faith leaders, youth and young adults, and policymakers can recognize these issues and intervene--or reach out--to help others, as well as themselves. "Even though meth addiction was a long and painful ordeal for me,  I finally beat it, and have been 100% clean and sober for over 4 years now."                                                                                           Stephen, February 2014          To speak up and add your story to Voices for Recovery, please click here.
