What We Do
Connecting Recovery Communities Through Action
We’re building a collaborative recovery community—one that’s informed, aligned, and equipped to create sustainable change.
OUR PROGRAMS
RAI’s programs are built to increase awareness, strengthen collaboration, drive advocacy, and mobilize action. From statewide events to local task forces, we serve as connectors across sectors—preventing siloed efforts and amplifying the solutions we’ve seen work.
