Open Call for Speakers: International Women's Day Global Recovery Event on March 8th + how you can host a watch party

This year we are having an open call for speakers because your voice matters. We are all a part of the global voices of women in recovery.

[if this event isn’t for you, will you share with a friend, colleague, sister, or neighbor who might be interested?]

The International Women’s Day Global Recovery Event aims to bring together voices from around the world to amplify women's experiences and achievements in recovery advocacy. This year we are having an open call for speakers, welcoming new partner organizations, and simplifying the process for getting involved!

This event is proudly supported by Circle of Chairs, Recovery Collective Online, Meghann Perry Group, McShin Foundation, Young People in Recovery, Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR), Jordan Peer Recovery, A New Path, Massachusetts Organization for Addiction Recovery (MOAR), and more organizations and partners to be announced soon!

The International Women’s Day Global Recovery Event is a unique platform dedicated to raising awareness of the intersecting issues specific to women’s addiction and mental health recovery. Our goals are to highlight the global impact of women’s recovery journeys, promote the significance of storytelling in reducing stigma, and provide practical ways for attendees to make a difference in their local communities.

Our Collective Focus

Together, we can increase awareness about women’s recovery and celebrate together. Let’s join together to enhance:

• Local Impact: Expanding our reach to include live events at local communities, with this year’s LIVE EVENT being announced soon.

• Community Participation: Encouraging women to share their stories through our new submission process starting at the end of January.

• Calls to Action: Building on previous events to inspire actionable steps for community involvement.

• Stigma Reduction: Facilitating evidence-based activities to reduce stigma and foster personal connections with those with lived recovery experiences.

To express your interest in speaking at the event, please complete this brief form by Friday January 24th. If you have any questions or need further information, feel free to reach out.
