Click here to view the schedule for all the month's events!
For National Recovery Month, our Philly HEALs team will be honoring the people we have lost to overdose in Philadelphia by hosting a month of art and creative expression. This series of art shows will travel to 4 different Philly neighborhoods throughout September. Each location will also host an open mic night where folks can express themselves through song, poetry, or by sharing memories about their loved ones and/or recovery journeys. All events are free and open to the public. Join us for the final open mic night and show at C. B. Moore Rec Center. Read more about the events here.
