What is Recovery Day Cornwall?!
The day is aimed at reducing stigma and offering support to people with substance use disorder/mental health, along with their friends and families. Among events are Narcan training, meditation, many informational help/community support booths, entertainment, compassion, survivors, speakers, encouragement learning about all pathways and allies in .
Tens of thousands of Cornwall, Ottawa and surrounding residents live with substance use disorders, most of them hidden.
Even those who successfully recover are often reticent to talk about it because of stigma.
If we can’t tell another human we got better without losing some of our respect for ourselves, how can we tell anybody we were ill?”
There are an estimated nearly a million-and-a-half Canadians that have substance use disorder/mental health issues, most of them invisible to the general public.
The goal is beyond reducing stigma to encouraging more compassion toward people with substance use disorder/mental health disorders.
One of the things that Recovery Day brings is hope. It is a place where people are beginning to come out and say we can have healthier lives if we work on this together.!!!

Last years first RDC!!!
