Welcome to the inaugural Recovery Ecosystems Conference! The 2024 conference is being jointly organized by Roanoke Valley Collective Response, Carilion Clinic and Virginia Tech. Our goal with this first conference, in what we hope will become an annual event, is to bring together diverse organizations working in areas from crisis to community support of recovery within our Roanoke area, across Virginia and in the broader Appalachian region.
There is strong collective work and collaboration among organizations serving the addiction recovery ecosystem that we hope to share during the event, but we know regional recovery ecosystems have gaps and we can all learn from others who have made a positive impact in their own communities. Please join us September 12-13, 2024 for two days of inspirational speakers, evidence-based research presentations, challenging discussions, knowledge sharing and network building with your cross-sectoral peers.
Over the course of the two days, our goal is to elevate issues relevant to those working in trauma and crisis response, prevention, treatment and recovery support, recovery housing, workforce innovation, integration of peer services, and from crisis to career. Our hope is that by bringing together a broad base of organizations and communities working to address addiction in their regions, we can strengthen this network and create new relationships that advance all of our missions.
