This concurrent resolution designates February 19, 2025, as Recovery Day at the State House in Vermont, acknowledging the significant challenges of substance use disorders in the state, where approximately 56,000 individuals (10.3% of Vermonters aged 12 and older) are affected. The resolution highlights the work of two key organizations: the Vermont Association for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery (VAMHAR), a longstanding nonprofit providing advocacy and training, and Recovery Partners of Vermont, a 14-member group supporting individuals in their recovery journeys. The resolution emphasizes the theme "Recovery Rooted in Community Connection," which underscores the importance of community support in successful recovery. It recognizes that on this day, Vermonters engaged in the recovery process will visit the State House to celebrate their achievements and educate the General Assembly about recovery support activities. The resolution officially designates the date as Recovery Day and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to the mentioned organizations, thereby acknowledging and supporting individuals working to overcome substance use disorders.
