Join the Launch of the Southeast Addiction Recovery Coalition

Thursday 16 October, 2025

VIA Zoom

The Southeast Addiction Recovery Coalition is a regional alliance of recovery-focused organizations from across the Southeastern United States, united under the shared belief that recovery is possible for everyone, everywhere.

A coalition of organizations united together to address the Addiction Epidemic

When organizations unite we build a constituency of consequence to advance recovery from addiction

If your organization works on prevention, treatment, recovery, or harm reduction this is your coalition

We believe we are stronger together and with a united voice we can impact policy and funding from Washington D.C., State Capitols across the Southeast, and in our local communities

Uniting peers with lived experience, families, clinical professionals, and allies from business, faith, education, and law-enforcement, we join together to save lives, restore families, and strengthen communities across the Southeast

Principles Over Passions Cohort #6 (Reentry Cohort #3)!

This was the first cohort of women residence of the Athens Clarke County Jail. Taking the PrinciplesOver Passions trauma-informed care journey with these women, watching them embrace pasts and draw power from their pain, has been just as much of an empowering experience for me as it was for them!
Thank hou you to Sheriff John Q Williams and Dep. Chief Frank Woods for having vision of expanding this program to the women, and to my team within the Programs Departments for a flawless ex*****on!

More photos and footage to come !
