Faces and Voices of Recovery developed the “Our Stories Have Power” training to give people in recovery and their family members messaging, or language, that they can use to talk about their recovery. The recovery community is speaking out to educate friends, neighbors, policy makers and the media about the reality of recovery so that others can get the help they need to recovery.

Participants will learn that words have power demonstrated by research that specific types of messaging promote change and can reduce stigma. In addition, participants will become recovery communicators by learning:

1. About messaging for those in recovery, for family members and allies
2. How to tell their recovery story to friends and family
3. How to use recovery messages in all parts of life, including representing the organized recovery community in the media and other public places.
4. Appropriate, non-stigmatizing language when talking about addiction and recovery.
