WE Are In Long Term Recovery
Nothing About Us, Without Us
For Georgia Council for Recovery, “Nothing About Us Without Us” isn’t just a slogan, it’s a way of life. We don’t rely on our own lived experience when advocating for others- we talk to them, and help them build their own voices to add to ours. We provide the skills for communities and individuals in recovery to build connections, lift up resources, and impact positive change.
Who We Are
• For over 20 years GC4R has been a voice of recovery in Georgia.
• We provide advocacy, training, education, and peer recovery support services.
• We ensure the peer voice is heard, “Nothing about us, without us.”
• From 1 employee to 45, all with lived recovery experience.
• From 1 peer-run RCO to 40 across the state.
• Think of us as the Home Depot of Recovery, “You can do it, we can help!”
What We Do
• We are a diverse community of individuals in recovery who organize and mobilize recovery communities and the peer workforce statewide.
• The way we see it, there are three major challenges that individuals and communities face:
1. isolation,
2. stigma, and
3. extremely limited resources.
• We support the restoration and wellness of individuals, families, and communities.
