https://www.promoplace.com/ws/ws.dll/Showroom?DistID=26521&StoreID=169476 Taking Back Ohio is a grass roots Ohio 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to educate, advocate, and support those who are seeking recovery from Addiction and/or Mental Health Challenge

s find it and keep it! We do this primarily through our weekly Open Recovery meeting's that use a Positive Peer Approach to help those seeking Recovery find their true meaning and purpose in life. Taking Back Ohio was started by a few close friends in recovery at the Sandusky Artisans Recovery Community Center in 2014 and welcomes anyone and everyone seeking Recovery from Mental Health challenges or substance use disorder as well as any supporters. We welcome those utilizing MAT as a way of achieving Recovery from SUD and all pathways to Recovery. The group chose for the meeting to be like this so that anyone from the outside who had skepticism or fear related to going to a recovery meeting would feel open to try this out! If you are considering living FREE from the bonds of addiction - YOU are welcome here.

Day Two is underway with at the 2025 Peer Recovery Summit! 🙌

👊We’re back this morning representing Taking Back Ohio and feeling grateful to be surrounded by so many incredible peers, advocates, and changemakers.

Day one set the tone — and this morning we’re kicking things off with inspiration from Ken Nwadike Jr., whose message about the power of positive human interaction reminded us just how vital kindness, connection, and compassion are in recovery work. 🙏

Today we’ll be diving deeper into conversations around peer services, recovery leadership, and building stronger communities across Ohio. Let’s keep showing up, leaning in, and lifting each other up. 💙

Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing more throughout the day!
