Advocacy
Advocacy to bring about change is essential. Join the chorus in promoting changes that result in the reunification and healing of families. The Women’s Recovery Center utilizes Facebook and Twitter asking our followers to support our efforts to address legislative issues that negatively impact our clients. Currently, we are following:
- Ohio’s biennial budget process
- Saving the Medicaid Expansion to avoid more than 800,000 losing access to affordable health care
- The repeal and replacement legislation of the Affordable Care Act
Awareness
National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is observed on January 11th each year. Human trafficking is a $32 billion dollar per year industry that is continuing to increase with 4.5 million of trafficked persons are sexually exploited. The repeated traumatization for women is their introduction to addiction to simply cope with their circumstances.
May is Women’s Health Month. As women our lives can be complex with the demands of employment, family and management of the household. This month is a reminder that it is essential to take care of ourselves in order care for others. It is important to stop, breathe and simply be.

More than 23 million Americans are in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and drugs and serve as a reminder that recovery is real and it benefits themselves, their families and their communities.Look for updates concerning the Women’s Recovery Center’s annual graduation for our clients each September.
