About
The Recovery Collective

The Recovery Collective exists to empower individuals and communities through recovery support, harm reduction, and mental health advocacy. We are committed to building real solutions for real people by meeting individuals where they are, reducing barriers to care, and fostering collaboration across systems. Our mission is rooted in compassion, lived experience, and the belief that every person deserves the chance to heal, grow, and thrive.

Guiding Principles

1. Compassion First
   We treat every individual with dignity and respect, recognizing the humanity behind every story.

2. Empowerment Over Judgment
   We believe recovery is self-defined. Our role is to walk alongside people, offering tools and support without stigma or shame.

3. Harm Reduction Saves Lives
   Meeting people where they are, through education, safer use strategies, and access to resources is essential to preserving life and opening the door to recovery.

4. Collaboration Across Systems
   Real change happens when public health, public safety, and community organizations work together toward shared solutions.

5. Equity and Inclusion
   We are committed to breaking down systemic barriers, centering marginalized voices, and ensuring access to care for all communities.

6. Integrity and Accountability
   We lead with transparency, honesty, and a commitment to follow through on our promises.

7. Innovation Through Lived Experience
   We value the voices of those with lived experience in recovery, knowing that they hold the wisdom to guide meaningful change.
