September is National Recovery Month

The Steadfast Banquet–Rooted in Purpose is being held Sept. 25th as part of awareness for National Recovery Month. National Recovery Month is celebrated every September to increase public awareness about mental health and addiction recovery, celebrate individuals in long-term recovery, and recognize the dedicated service providers and communities who make healing possible.
