PAR-People Advocating Recovery

PAR-People Advocating Recovery PAR is an organization working to eliminate barriers to recovery from substance use disorders

We work to support and provide mentorship for the development of new recovery community organizations. We work alongside state agencies, people in recovery, and other stake holders to ensure gaps are filled and needs are being met across the recovery continuum. PAR draws from research that has been conducted at the federal level to inform and create curriculums and implementation procedures for organizations, agencies, and other stakeholders wishing to create more spaces for recovery equity in their practices. We work to support the needs of the community by elevating voices with lived experience. We train, support and cultivate grassroots advocates to use their voice and share the reality- that recovery is thriving in Kentucky.

We often talk about "the system" in numbers and statistics, but this article reminds us of the real faces behind those figures. A young Kentuckian is speaking out about his experience with a parent in the justice system—and he’s asking our state to do better.
It’s time we prioritize recovery and support over just punishment. Our kids deserve it.
