I attended a vigil in Richmond on the weekend to commemorate ten years since the crisis was declared. Hats off to the Last Door and the creators of the Recovery Capital Conference which intends to inform professionals that people CAN and DO RECOVER. While other pillars are also essential to keep people alive, we need to ensure that recovery as the ultimate goal doesn't get watered down.

So we set out on a humble journey.

We set out to talk about recovery openly, educate those working on the front lines, and focus on building recovery capital in individuals, communities, and healthcare systems as a meaningful response to mental health and addiction challenges.
Over the past decade, that message has reached communities from Vancouver to Halifax and everywhere in between. Over the past decade, more than 15,000 people have attended the Recovery Capital Conference, helping to shape a stronger, more connected health care system of care across Canada.
This year marks the 10th Annual Recovery Capital Conference and our biggest one yet, as we move into the new BMO Centre in Calgary.
