Words Make a Difference
Are you looking for behavioral health resources for yourself or a loved one? Do you want to spread some encouragement and hope? Join us on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, from 5:00 pm–6:30 pm at Council Tree Library for Recovery Cards Project: Panel & Card Signing. Participate in a conversation about behavioral health resources for mental health and substance use disorder, and join a card-writing session to support someone you love (or even a stranger).
Greeting cards are a time-tested, thoughtful gesture for letting someone know you’re thinking about them during a special time or life event. Yet there are few greeting cards that support someone’s recovery from addiction. Recovery Cards Project was created to spotlight the importance of recovery and the efforts of those working to achieve it.
The program will feature a panel of behavioral health experts and a Recovery Cards Project artist. Attendees will have time for discussion and to write Recovery Cards to strangers or loved ones.
