Recovery Community Organization Toolkit
The Recovery Community Organization Toolkit is a must read if you're interested in starting up a recovery community organization or want to think about the next steps for your group. Find out about the core strategies that grass roots organizations around the country have used to develop strong local and statewide groups. Learn the keys to a successful recovery community organization and use the many resources that are now available to you in one place. The Resources section of the Recovery Community Organization Toolkit is online below so that we can continue to add new resources for you to use as you build your organization. Please let us know how you were able to use the Toolkit!
