ADVOCATE: Why National Voice Matters 💛
Peer support happens locally — in real communities, with real people, every day.
But the systems that shape peer support often move nationally.
That’s why a national peer voice matters.
A unified national voice helps:
✨ strengthen the peer workforce across states
✨ advocate for sustainable roles and career pathways
✨ elevate ethical, high-quality peer-led support
✨ expand access to peer support in every community
✨ strengthen recovery ecosystems and reduce disparities
Supporting NPRA’s vision of a unified, sustainable peer workforce, national advocacy helps ensure peers are recognized, supported, and able to thrive.
In service of universal access to peer-led support — our voice is stronger together. 💛

February is more than Valentine’s Day —
it’s a reminder to practice self-love. ❤️

In recovery, learning to love ourselves- can be one of the hardest and most powerful parts of the journey.

Self-love looks like setting boundaries, asking for help, taking care of our mental health, and choosing recovery even when it’s hard.

Today we Celebrate,
✨Healing
✨Growth
✨Courage

As the new year is just days away MCRA wants to help bring awareness that January is observed as,

SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT MONTH which serves to support:

• People contemplating or seeking help for their substance use
• Practitioners treating or considering treating substance use disorder
• Friends, family, and loved ones of those with substance use conditions

By raising awareness of treatment options—including medications used to treat substance use disorders—SAMHSA seeks to:

• Eliminate stigma surrounding treatment, including medications used to treat substance use disorders
• Encourage individuals on their treatment and recovery journey
• Promote best practices such as screening, intervention, and treatment of substance use disorders by health care providers
