September is National Recovery Month
Virtual Town Hall on Recovery
September 21 • 6 pm
Every year, the PA Senate Democrats host open houses on recovery resources throughout the state; however, COVID-19 has made gatherings like this unsafe and we are offering a virtual townhall this year instead. Join us on September 21 at 6pm for a statewide virtual townhall where we will hear from experts, advocates and survivors about the journey to recovery and the resources that are available in Pennsylvania. Register below to reserve your spot. Following remarks from our panel, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
The PA Senate Democrats recently traveled the state to offer open houses with resources for those struggling with substance addiction. These events were also for the family, friends and neighbors of those affected, because we are all in this together. Attendees had access to drug and alcohol service providers, family counselors, safe prescription disposal bags, a Narcan demonstration and much more. Check out images and videos below!
