March and April 2019 were amazing months as we joined others at the Stand Up for Recovery Day to Advocate for Changes with our Assemblymen in Albany as well as our FOR-NY peers 1000 strong. The House Speaker introduced my partners and I to the Assembly and we were acknowledged for our part in the fight against the opiate issue. We didn't stop there! We and our co-sponsor IHNO, had a FANTASTIC Conference called "CHANGES" at the Millennium Hotel in WNY bringing in Dr. Carlo DiClemente the co-author of "Stages of Change." We then went on the airwaves of WDCX to do a 3 Part Series called "CHANGED."
Summer brings us to the Recovery Walk for Healing!(see below) which helps us fund those who need services and have no income. Over 30% of our services are done Pro Bono and we do not receive funding from any other source! Won't you consider walking with us? Dr. Donna
