Sterling Bryant knew there was a place for him when he learned about the Recovery Community’s coffee bike at #VirginiaTech. 🧡 Now, he’s working with @HokieWellness and the Recovery Community to extend a similar welcome to students across the region. 🙌 vtx.vt.edu/articles/2022/…

@virginia_tech @vtnews this needs to be on the news stat! These students @hokies4recovery and their professors @emsatter @Korine_K #twitterlessJuliaGohlke did a great job championing a needed local issue that will enable meaningful change for everyone. #EveryOneKnowsSomeone

Woot!!! Great news, everyone! You helped make it happen. The Virginia General Assembly’s budget proposal includes funding for a feasibility study to transform Catawba Hospital to include recovery services. The @roanoke_rambler reports (🧵) roanokerambler.com/ramblings-part…

@traceyh415 Go Tracey!

I did a therapy assessment, booked a vacation, scheduled a day off, and made a dental appointment. I’m making progress.

Thank you, @Sam_Rasoul and @VT_Recovery for helping us be better advocates for recovery from substance use disorder. We are proud to work alongside you and grateful to artist Steven White for capturing our ongoing scheming for Catawba Hospital!

Recap. Hokie Bird. Coffee Bike. Recovery. Winning.

Have you shared our flier yet?

On Thursday, Hokies for SUD Recovery met with Del Sam Rasoul and other recovery advocates to discuss the future of the HB 105's vision for a transformed Catawba Hospital campus. Thanks to Steven White capturing the moment!

Today, @DrGupta46 met with recovery advocates to discuss ways to ensure people in recovery from substance use disorder, including formerly incarcerated individuals, have access to good-paying jobs and recovery support services. #RXSummit2022

@virginia_tech #neVerforgeT We must make/take time to grieve and remember the lives lost. In their honor, we continue to fight for more mental health support and vote for policies that reduce gun violence.

For info on how to keep supporting HB105s goals and recovery in Virginia⬇️⬇️⬇️

Access to life-saving medically assisted treatment (MAT) is still limited across SWVA and nationwide. With hard to navigate regulations and inconsistency among pharmacies, there’s a need for a comprehensive care facility for SUD recovery more than ever virginiamercury.com/2022/04/11/sou…

@ecianell94 @gull2hokie

BREAKING: we now have 400 people signed up to blockade the Grant Town Power Plant - which exclusively burns Joe Manchin’s coal. But we need to recruit 100s more for the blockade to hold. Can you RT and follow along to make that happen?

@gull2hokie @alphasigs @RAINN Now we know you do dunk tanks.. the precedent has been established. You can expect a call. 😂

I don’t usually do dunk tanks. But, to help support VT @alphasigs as they raise awareness and funds for @RAINN, I’ll make an exception. Every step towards ending sexual violence matters!

Call ur State Senator ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@traceyh415 Yet we persist. Some days it’s ok just to exist… because being here on this wet rock is a miracle and making miracles every day is f#%}* exhausting.

Existence is exhausting

Know what? I have tons of thoughts but I rarely share them. I was trained over my life that my opinions are unusual and unwanted. I was trained to shut up and not let people know what I'm thinking. As you may have guessed, this was not good for my mental health. Working on it.
