Event Information

We are excited to promote an event for the Portage and surrounding towns honor National Recovery Month in our community. On September 14, 2019, The Portage Recovery Association with panel speakers, such as Mayor John Cannon, Chief of Police Troy Williams and Attorney Mitch Peters, will host National Recovery Month Celebration in the Portage, Indiana area as part of National Recovery Month (Recovery Month), a large national observance. This event increases awareness and understanding of mental and substance use disorders and promotes the message that behavioral health is essential to health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover.

Recovery Month is an annual celebration sponsored each September by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), which is a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Included in this message is a flyer that provides additional details about the event. Please feel free to contact me if you need further information or would like to schedule an interview with Nicole Walters or Jacob Monhaut, board members of the Portage Recovery Association. I will follow up with you prior to the PRA National Recovery Month Celebration to see if you or someone from your organization will be attending.
