CARE and Advocacy

Project Vox

Project Vox is CARE’s recovery advocacy group that works to influence public policy and support substance use disorder prevention and treatment programs. Project VOX is comprised of people who are in recovery, have been impacted by addiction, recovery professionals, and those who are passionate about ending substance use disorder. Our goal is to educate members of society about substance use, including those working in government and other public systems.

At monthly meetings, Project VOX plans recovery focused events for the general public, people in recovery, and recovery allies. These efforts include stigma reduction and messaging training, naloxone education, how to share a recovery story, and a variety of social activities that bring together people in recovery. We also network with other groups at larger community events such as the Unite to Face Addiction Rally and Michigan Celebrate Recovery.

"To me, Project Vox gives a face and voice to those in recovery. We need to put a face on recovery to show the community that we can and do recover and that addiction knows no boundaries, we are all affected. Project Vox gives me a sense of meaning and purpose to help guide others on their journey of long-term recovery. The greatest gift in life that I have ever received is the gift of recovery. When I see people get well and their lives improve because of their recovery, it does my heart good and reminds me of my journey. My life has forever changed once I decided to join Project Vox and help others to achieve sobriety. Recovery is a journey not a destination."
