How do team NH recovery!
Many of you took the Ethics training and learned about William White’s Zones of Vulnerability; a tool to use when faced with making decisions for the first time. They don’t have to be difficult, or “challenging’ situations, to utilize this tool. The decision could seem as mundane as the the day of the week, but it is likely not. In Ethics you learned about Multi Party Vulnerability, Iatrogencis and Boundary Management AND Wants Vs. Needs. These concepts as well as the Zones of Vulnerability are tools for you to use everyday. Your role as a Recovery Coach is a new role for all of us. We’re building a profession and it is crucial that we, collectively, are all on the same page and First, Do No Harm. Take out your manuals and keep them by your side! Review Zones of Vulnerability and Wants V Needs and apply it in your daily encounters. For the Good of All. Thank you.

Addiction Policy Forum Launches 192 A Day Campaign
Last November, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released its latest report revealing that 70,237 lives were lost due to drug overdose in 2017. This data means that we are losing 192 children, parents, friends and neighbors each day to this epidemic.
We’re launching the 192aDay awareness campaign to honor loved ones who lost their life to addiction and to give families and friends a platform to share their stories. We hope this campaign will help eliminate the stigma surrounding addiction and connect people with resources.
If you are a family member or a friend that has lost a loved one to addiction, we encourage you to share their story as part of the #192aDay campaign. Check out our 192aDay social media toolkit here. Use the messages and graphics in this toolkit to spread awareness on social media and help remember those we have lost to this disease.
