We Can Each Be the Change

Welcome to your special-focus digital edition of TOGETHER magazine, where you will meet an empowering cohort of "Changemakers"—people who are challenging perceptions about addiction and mental health issues and inspiring recovery and well-being at new levels.

Brimming with the wisdom of lived experience, their stories remind us of the mantra to be the change we want to see: 

  • To listen the way we want to be heard
  • To extend the compassion we want to experience
  • To offer the connection we want to feel

In finding our own voice and finding our own purpose, we help others find courage, strength and understanding in ways we may never know—but in ways that ultimately help us all feel a little less alone and a little more encouraged.

Together, we are empowering recovery and well-being for all.

A note about names: In sharing people's stories, TOGETHER magazine honors the preference of each individual as to the degree of anonymity they choose in identifying themselves.
