The City of Red Deer, with financial support from the Government of Alberta, is hosting a one-day conference this October to build an understanding of what a Recovery Oriented System of Care is, and what implementation can look like for Red Deer specifically.
Industry, not-for-profits, government, and interested members of our public are invited to the conference to learn, grow, build and start a journey towards recovery.
The word “recovery” can have various meanings in various contexts. For the purposes of an ideal coordinated response, it means helping individuals maintain forward momentum toward better wellness and fulfillment, across all dimensions of their life – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and culturally.
Attendees can look forward to sessions from a broad variety of speakers focused on building strong recovery-oriented systems of care, and discussing how you can encourage and support others as a recovery ally. Whether you're actively supporting individuals in their recovery journeys or taking the first steps to understand how you can better support your community, there is something for everyone.
When: Wednesday, October 4 - 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Where: Westerner Park - Prairie Pavilion (4847A 19th Street)
