2020 King County Recovery Month
“Rising Above It All: Wellness, Resilience & Recovery”
BHRD's 2020 Recovery Month
This year's theme is “Rising Above It All: Wellness, Resilience & Recovery”. We are living in unprecedented times and now more than ever, prevention and treatment of behavioral health conditions across the lifespan are of upmost importance, as well as continued support for people in recovery. This year’s theme is a message of hope for individuals, families, and communities.
We have the capacity to rise above behavioral health and co-occurring challenges and experience improved quality of life. This year’s theme also provides hope for creating a more socially just community where our most marginalized and oppressed neighbors can have equitable opportunities for health, happiness, self-reliance and connection to community.

The goal of Recovery Month is to:
- reduce stigma associated with behavioral health conditions across the lifespan,
- celebrate individuals in recovery from mental health, substance use, and co-occurring physical health conditions,
- honor prevention, treatment and recovery support service providers, and
- encourage individuals and communities to take action to help expand the availability of effective prevention, treatment, and recovery support services for families and individuals in need.

Take a Closer Look at Our Theme
Wellness
Wellness is not the absence of disease, illness, and stress but the presence of purpose in life, active involvement in satisfying work and play, joyful relationships, a healthy body and living environment and happiness.
Resilience
Resilience is an inner capacity that when nurtured, facilitated, and supported by others empowers people, including children, youth, and families, to successfully meet life’s challenges with a sense of self-determination, mastery and hope.
Recovery
Recovery is a process of change through which individuals work to improve their own health and well-being, live a self-directed life, and strive to achieve their full potential.
