NRV Recovery Ecosystem Outreach

The Recovery Ecosystem is continuing its efforts to connect community members with information and resources related to substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery across the New River Valley. Through outreach events and community engagement, the Recovery Ecosystem is raising awareness of available services, reducing stigma, and building stronger pathways to recovery for individuals and families.

The Community Health Team is kicking off a busy summer of outreach throughout the NRV! In May, team members participated in the Day of Hope at Huckleberry Park in Christiansburg, and on June 13 they attended the Claytor Lake Festival in Dublin. Upcoming events include the Game of Hope at Calfee Park in Pulaski on June 20, followed by outreach at both the Wilderness Trail Festival in Christiansburg and the New River Paw Paw Festival in Blacksburg on September 19. Community members are encouraged to stop by, learn more about the Recovery Ecosystem, and discover resources available throughout the NRV.
