SUMMARY:Recovery Walks! 2025
DESCRIPTION:September is National Recovery Month\, allowing us to increase public awareness about the power of recovery. We celebrate victory over addiction\, promote evidence-based treatment and recovery practices\, and honor the strong\, proud recovery community and the service providers and communities who work with us towards our vision of “Transforming Lives Through Sustained Recovery!” \nReports of drug overdoses and an alarming number of deaths remain at the forefront of discussions about addiction\, which experts say is a grim reality of the current nationwide crisis. \nBut it can overshadow the fact that nearly three in four people who struggle with substance use survive and go on to live in recovery\, according to national estimates. \nThousands of people are expected to gather Sept. 20 in Philadelphia’s Navy Yard to recognize those in addiction recovery during PRO-ACT’s annual Recovery Walks! event.

SUMMARY:Mural Arts Dedication: 'Embracing the Light'
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the dedication of artist James Burns’ “Embracing the Light\,” a community-driven mural project at St.\nChristopher’s Hospital for Children that raises awareness about suicide prevention and mental health resources. \nDeveloped through mindful writing workshops and a performance supported by First Person Arts\, the project included input from a committed steering committee and hundreds of participants during public paint days at the hospital. \nThe mural enhances St. Christopher’s legacy of using art to uplift patients\, families\, and staff. Burns\, who has spent over a decade using art to spark conversations about suicide prevention\, designed a piece that promotes dialogue and reduces stigma. This mural not only transforms the hospital’s exterior but also invites essential conversations about mental health\, especially for young people and their families. \nIf you or a loved one is in crisis\, call or text 988.
