Recovery & Well-being Series: New Life in Recovery

Presented by the Illinois Department of Human Services.

Please plan to join us on January 21, 2026 for our next Recovery & Well-being Series (formerly known as Recovery & Empowerment Statewide Call).

Our theme this year is “Peace and Healing in Our Recovery.” During the 2026 educational series, we will be exploring a wide variety of recovery pathways, considering some new and innovative things happening around us, and revisiting a few wellness tools that some of us may have been using for years.

Each call provides listeners with the opportunity to hear directly from, and be inspired by, individuals in recovery. This month’s focus is New Life in Recovery.

Please note that you don’t have to be at an agency or in a group to participate. Individuals are welcome to dial in from a personal phone, through the WebEx app on a smartphone, or from a home computer.

Registration is not required. Instructions on how to join are outlined below:
