In March, our focus topic is on Community Advocacy. Community Advocacy supports our ability to remove stigmas and improve the systems that impact people with mental health and substance use issues. This month, we are encouraging our community to learn how to become an advocate for those who are struggling and how to better serve vulnerable communities in need. We’re providing resources and tips for community advocacy, and as well as has featuring opportunities to promote advocacy within the community.

Aome Rogers, Communications Director for DLC Advocates, shares her story of recovery at DLC, and why she is passionate about giving back to the community that saved her life.
