About the Conference
Building a Recovery-Ready State centers the recovery workforce as essential infrastructure for
community wellness. This conference will highlight the peer workforce, addressing the
intersectionality of gambling harms and mental health with substance use, recovery-friendly
workplaces, and policy strategies that expand Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care across our state.
Together, we will move from isolated services to aligned systems that sustain long-term recovery
for individuals, families, and communities.
