Applications Being Accepted for The Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellowships Program

NASW continues to partner with the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and other organizations to promote National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (NADARM). Celebrated every September, NADARM highlights the strides made in substance abuse treatment and seeks to educate the public about addiction and recovery. Last year, the Recovery Month radio tour reached more than 4 million listeners—almost double the number in 2000. In addition, the Recovery Month Web site logged more than half a million visitors, compared with a little more than 100,000 the year before.

This year's celebration, Join the Voices of Recovery: A Call to Action, focuses on amplifying the Voices of Recovery—families, friends, treatment providers, and others in the community who are helping people recover and making a difference. NASW encourages members to get involved!

A series of live Web casts and Web chats is being held monthly through September to discuss and highlight key issues relevant to the Recovery Month 2002 observance. A schedule of all Web chats and Web casts, is available at: http://www.health.org/recoverymonth/2002/multimedia.

To participate in the chat, log on to http://www.health.org/recoverymonth/2002/multimedia/webchat1.html before or during the chat time and follow the on-screen directions to post your questions. An archived transcript will be available after the discussion.

The Recovery Month Kit provides fact sheets, resources, sample articles, and event ideas for Recovery Month outreach and educational activities. For additional information on Recovery Month, or to download a copy of the kit, please visit http://www.health.org/recoverymonth/.
